- 4 ALS. To ‘Sir’, ‘Mr. Hall’, ‘Miss Penny’, and ‘Miss Crommelin’. MSS 13830. [None of the letters is fully dated, but three were written from 17 Campden Hill Road, Kensington, where FCH lived from early 1868 to about 1892; the fourth letter certainly belongs to the same period. A note (not in FCH’s hand) attached to the letter to Miss Crommelin, dates it [?1860], but it contains what appears to be a reference to the recent death of FCH’s daughter Charlotte, which occurred in 1878.
