ref. 41760saying she had "hoped to have been able to get over to Halliwell Lane today to call on Miss Bathurst & explain to you that we are expecting some friends of Marianne's tomorrow night which will prevent our coming to you as we should much have liked; but I have been detained at home all day; and I must trust to our post being more speedy than usual in carrying this note out to Halliwell Lane. I heard of your return from Mrs James Heywood & I should have called sooner for I wanted to see you: but I have been completely knocked up by the smell of house-painting. In great haste." 3 sides 8vo.with some accounting notes on the blank 4th side presumably by the recipient no place no date but the accounts dated September On 30th August 1832 Elizabeth married Unitarian minister William Gaskell in Knutsford. The Gaskells then settled in Manchester where William was the minister at Cross Street Unitarian Chapel. Their first daughter was stillborn in 1833. Their next daughter Marianne was born in 1834. They had three more daughters. In March 1835 Gaskell began a diary documenting the development of her daughter Marianne: she explored parenthood the values she placed on her role as a mother; her faith and later relations between Marianne and her sister Meta. In 1850 the Gaskells moved to a villa at 84 Plymouth Grove and this letter is presumably from there. Mrs Scott is almost certainly Ann Scott d. 1888 wife of Alexander John Scott 1805-1866. In 1850 Alexander John Scott became "the first principal of Owens College later Manchester University as well as the professor of English language and literature and of moral and mental philosophy. Early in 1851 the Scotts took up residence at 2 Park Place Halliwell Lane in Manchester". When Gaskell says in her letter "I must trust to our post being more speedy than usual in carrying this note out to Halliwell Lane" she appears to be suggesting that this letter to Mrs Scott is being posted to Halliwell Lane. unknown
