This section contains correspondence exchanged between Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury and members of the Taylor and Cadbury families during the period from her 21st birthday in June 1879 and November 1950. The section includes letters written to Taylor Cadbury by her parents, siblings, children and step-children as well as correspondence from close family friends such as Lily Davey. A collection of letters sent to Taylor Cadbury by members of the Taylor family are featured here alongside letters exchanged between Taylor Cadbury, her mother Mary Jane Taylor and elder sister Margaret Taylor whilst she was visiting Switzerland in 1883. The section also includes letters sent to Taylor Cadbury by members of the Cadbury family around the time of her marriage to George Cadbury in 1888. A large collection of Christmas cards sent to Taylor Cadbury before her marriage and distributed jointly by Elizabeth and George Cadbury are also contained in this section. Later correspondence in the section includes a number of letters written to Taylor Cadbury by her nephew Howard Taylor and her niece Peggy Sinclair (later Duncan).
Please note that owing to the similarities in surname, Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury and a number of the people who wrote to her from the Taylor and Cadbury families are referred to in places throughout this section by their firstname.
