Title

Susannah Cleminshaw to Lydia Becker

Date

9 Mar 1887

Description

Continues with information about the family. Refers to the 'curse' that 'no member of the mill owner's family should prosper for two generations'. But the said mill owner, i.e. Thomas Wroe, died a wealthy man and further two generations have passed before it reached Lydia. She feels much interested in all the information Lydia is collecting and if she hears of anything fresh will let her know at once.
