Sir or Madame,

We regret to inform you, that for the protection of the interests of their various clients, we have advised Mssrs Wynne & Son of 31 Lincolns Inn Fields W.C. Solicitors to present today a Petition for a Receiving Order to the Bankruptcy Division of the High Court of Justice. The Books of Account have been placed in the hands of Mssrs Jocolyne Miles, and Blow of 28 King Street E.C. Chartered Accountants, in order that an accurate statement of Affairs may be prepared, with as little delay as possible.

 

Your Obedient Servants

Phelps Lidgwick & Biddle.

Private

 

Dear Sir,

I enclose a letter from our cousin Lord Knutsford which you will observe is marked “Private.” As you know all our affairs are – from Mr Wynne to your care, but we are very anxious about our cousin Mr. William Marsh De Minisco – now living in Switzerland and who is not of very strong mind and who has property under settlements in Mssrs Wynne’s hands and which in 1860 was invested in G.Western Peninsular Rly Stock.

Is it possible that this could be tampered with? Could you instruct us, what steps to take to secure the safety of these shares? Be so good as to return me the enclosed by return of post and if possible to answer the purpose of this letter.

Respectfully yours,

Miss Marsh-Caldwell.

My dear Georgy,

I have duly received your letter of the 8^th – this morning, in RE Mssrs Wynne & Son’s Failure, and so have just written a letter to Mons De Rameru to whom I also wrote on Saturday last, on the subject, which had been announced to me, as you will have learnt by my letter to Posy, which you will have received (next page ?) and making money.

But that Divorce Case of Mr L.M.Wynne seems to have been mixed up with, must also have cost him something. Mons De Rameru has been laid up with Influenza or Bronchitis lately but by the last accounts of him, he was getting convalescent.

We have still a vast plain of snow, before us, Mountains, Hills, Valleys, Vineyards, etc, being all still in white. I am sure we must have some heavy rain to  wash it all away, as the Sun can’t do it in time. The Vignerous will have double work to do, when they are able to begin. With love to all, in haste ever, Yours Affec etc cousin,

W. Marsh de Mirisco

 

11 March 1895

 

Dear Sir,

I think it best to send you the enclosed letter from Mr. W. Marsh De Marisco this morning, though personally you know all about the contents.

 

Faithfully yours,

Louisa Marsh-Caldwell

Dear Sir,

I enclose the two letters from Mr.W.Marsh de Marisco, one addressed to myself, by which you will see that he wished to put his English affairs in your hands.

The M.de Remerue to whom he alludes is a ‘—d’affairs’ of the highest respectability in Switzerland with whom our family in that country have long kept business connections (and he is also Trustee for W de M) As here also other friends of ours – Swiss – of the best position in Berne. Mr de R is himself a gentleman of old family and good connections in Switzerland. I thought you might like to know these particulars.

Will you also be so good as now, to write direct to Mr. M. d’Marisco at the address he gives. My sister Georgina wrote to him telling him what we had done respecting his affairs as regards yourself.

I remain

Yours truly

Louisa Marsh-Caldwell.

Dear Sir,

Unfortunately we cannot be sure, who are the Trustees of the settlement under which Mr William Marsh (now since Mar 1874 “De Marisco) derives interest, but we much fear that the late MR. Wynne – father of the present “Wynne & Son” was appointed Trustee. This, as of  course you know, could however be ascertained by referring to the copy of the Will of Georgina Nelson Marsh who died 24 March 1861.

Somerset House.

Will you kindly ascertain the facts of the case for us, (and at our expense – so far – in all this business) and inform us what steps should be taken, should our fears be correct, and Wynne & Son be the Trustees, under or late Aunt, Georgina N. Marsh’s Will.

 

I am

Yours truly,

Louisa Marsh-Caldwell

Fashionable Wedding at Purley

The little village of Purley, usually so quiet and pastoral, has within the last few weeks been stirred with an unusual interest and excitement, which culminated on Thursday in the marriage of one who had endeared herself to all, both young and old, with whom she came in contact, Miss Lillian Eden, who has for the last few years lived at The Cottage with Lady Auckland, and whose marriage with Mr N. McGache, son of the Rev. N.H. McGachen, rector of Littlebourne, Dover, was then solemnized.

The bride is the third daughter of the late Lieutenant-Colonel Morton Eden R.A., and of the late Mrs Morton Eden, of Woodlands, Wokingham. It may interest our readers to know that Miss Eden's grandfather and Lady Auckland's father were brothers. The trousseau has been the gift of Mrs Charles Eden, aunt and godmother of the bride, and the beautiful cream satin wedding dress was the gift of Lady Auckland.  - - - - 

The bride drove to the church with Lady Auckland, where she was met by her cousin, General Lynedoch Gardiner, C.B., Equerry to H.M. the Queen, on whose arm she was led up the church and who gave her away. The bridegroom was attired in the uniform of the Royal Naval Reserve, and was supported by the Honourable R.E. Eden as best man. 

Behind the bride came a most fascinating little trio, chosen more from affection than  from symmetry. First we must describe the lovely little daughter of Sir William and Lady Eden, Miss Majorie Eden,  - - - The elder page was Master Christopher Nelthorpe,  - - -

Among the assembled guests were  - - The Hon. Mrs Sutton Nelthorpe - -Mrs C.C. Talbot - - Miss Evelyn Eden - - Miss Violet Eden - - Miss McGachen.. Among the assembled guests were Sir William and Lady Eden, Miss Grey, Hon. Mrs Sutton Nelthorpe, General Lynedoch and Miss Gardiner, Rev. N.H. and Miss McGachen, Miss Eden, Misses E. and V. Eden, Miss Herringham, Mr and Mrs Charles Eden, Mr F.S. Eden, Mr and Mrs C. Talbot, Miss G. Eden, Hon. R.E.Eden, Hon. A.M. Eden, Lord Saye and Sele, Miss Russell &c.  --  

There were many nice presents, amongst them being a beautiful old paste spray from Mrs de Vitre, of Keep Hatch, a Wedgwood tea set from the Misses Marsh-Caldwell,  - - 

Miss Marsh-Caldwell, pearl and diamond ring; MIss Marsh-Caldwell, Wedgwood tea set; - - -

Letter to Posy probably from Amelia A Isaac, nee Crofton 1849-1925]

Boughton

15^th July [probably 1895/96 same as other letter mentioning these books]

My dearest Aunt Posy,

I suppose you know Mrs Balkeley-Owens book Short Readings for Mothers Minions S.P.C.K. 1/- ?

Warren Winchester has a nice packet of a dozen or so assorted addresses for 1/- which I have found very useful, as giving hints, and grown [mooks?] for little talks. I have lent so many which have not been returned that I have not many left. The leaflets are letters Liaglet A., B. &c I have only got B.C.D.E.F.G.H.I.L.O and P and they are all good. I am afraid I do not know anything else, except our Worcester Leaflet, one of which I read you. There is a No.2 which is also good.

How are your irises? I have 20 blooms on my 12 plants. Most of them good, but about 2 that I shall pull up and replace by better sorts. Mine were only seedlings.

It is extremely hot, and I have to go to an Infirmary[?] party!! A capital account of mother this morning.

Your loving A.I. [Isaac?]

Military Review in Ormeau Park.
Yesterday forenoon, at ten o'clock, a review of all the troops in Belfard garrison took place in the Ormeau Park. The weather was splendid and several thousands of spectators witnessed the evolutions. The troops were under arms at half-past eight o'clock and the hour of marching from barracks was so times as to allow of disposal on the field at half-past nine o'clock. Field-Marshal Viscount Wolseley travelled from Dublin by the limited mail on a farewell inspection, and arrived in Belfast attended by his staff. - - - In addition to the officers mentioned the following were on parade:- Brevet-Major Heath,  - - -

Letter to Posy from her niece, Amelia A.A. Isaac [ne Crofton.] 1849-1925

Must be 1895/6 as Lt Herbert C. Isaac still alive.

Worcester.

Oct 17^th.

My dearest Aunt Posy,

Unfortunately I never write out anything but the very roughest notes. And I have no book that would be of much use to you. But these 4 following have been strongly recommended and can I believe be all procured at Wells Gardener and Co.44 Victoria Street, Westminster, who would also send you a list of suitable books. I only know the first, but I have apparently lent my copy to somebody.

Readings for Mothers Minions.

Hon. Mrs Balkeley Owen

Stores for M.U. 1/6

Notes for Mothers Mtgs Mrs Haslehurst 1/-

Chimes for Mother C.M. Young 1/6

I had a nice packet of [skat lints?] for addresses which I lent to Mrs Eden. I will write and ask her to forward them direct to you, in case they are of use. And I dare say you would return them when done with. If you would only try to talk to them yourself it would be a thousand times better than any reading. And I know you would do it so well, as you have the power of expression in speech, very strongly. And you have what I so fail in, original ideas. It is not as if you had had no experience in bringing up children! I am rejoicing in my grand children, though Nellie is shy as yet. Their parents have gone away for 10 days, so I expect she will soon make friends now. The boy is marvelously good, [dairy?] has gone to stay with Mother. It is such a misery to think the operation will not be so long delayed. When do you come? I heard from my Bertie from Gib [Gibraltar?] [Lt Herbert Crofton Isaac 1874-1897]. So glad you like Arthur [Arthur Whitmore Isaac 1873-1916]. He used to be a great ally of mine, and was most popular in his regiment. Poor fellow. It is hard!

Your loving, Anny A Isaac. [Amelia A.A. Isaac nee Crofton. 1849-1925]
