After a visit to the Hampshire Record Office in Winchester, Ellie Bennett posted some interesting photos and thoughts on Reading Eliza Chute’s Regency-era diaries.
Not only will Two Teens readers see Eliza’s handwriting, you also get a taste of what the diaries holds for information, especially for the interaction between The Vyne and the various Austen households, Chawton included.
Enjoy!
Emma Smith and Mary Gosling are the two teens in question. Mary was born 2 February 1800 and Emma 27 September 1801. Sisters-of-the-heart, they became sisters-in-law in 1826.
