Part of Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton
Portland Terrace, Winchester [paper embossed with lion's head and the motto Esse quam videri]. - Has left Winton with her husband; they seek a curacy where a few pupils could be taught; cannot earn by drawing as her sight has been impaired by illness. Glad to hear of Robert's success; 'My dear father [Charles Alexander Johns of Winton House School] was so proud of him'. Her mother likes being back at Winton; her young brother has had rheumatism and must leave Harrow because of its clay soil. Requests a photograph.
