M. Dangerfield letters to Mrs. Osborne
Manuscripts
A series of 32 chatty letters from Mrs. "M. Dangerfield" of Goodrich in Herefordshire to her friend "Mrs. Osborne" of Monks Mill near Wotton Underedge in Gloucestershire, conveying a great deal of local news about their families, mutual friends and neighbors, ill-health, social entertainments, local travels, visits to local spas and towns (chiefly Bath, Cheltenham and Gloucester), the weather and state of the roads, and the progress of repairs to a vacant house in Goodrich owned by Mrs. Osborne, for whom the Dangerfields seem to have acted as occasional care-takers. There are passing references to county elections, highwaymen, the progress of the American War for Independence and rumors of American privateers, hostilities with France, and a local military camp set up near Winchester. Also included is one letter to Mrs. Osborne from Mr. Henry Dangerfield.
