File 152 - Correspondence with Mabel Lapthorne

Includes a letter from Mrs. G.M. Lapthorn (mother of Mabel), September 1915.
Mabel Lapthorn studied art under Taylor's father. Her portrait drawing of Taylor hung in his room at `Farmfield' (a copy is in E.5). There seems to have been a strong attachment between them in early years, and Miss Lapthorn remained a faithful and assiduous correspondent, though it will be seen that only a small proportion of her letters survives.
