Summary:

Have been surprisingly unsuccessful at collecting many insects, despite being constantly outdoors in the Welsh countryside this summer doing surveying work. Paucity of insects to collect. List of duplicate specimens ARW could have if he likes; located and bought copy of Shuckard's "Coleoptera," an illustrated treatise on beetles.

WCP1273

From:
Frances ("Fanny") Sims (née Wallace)
To:
Mary Ann Wallace (née Greenell)
Date:
10 October [1845]
Source of text:
Natural History Museum, London: NHM WP1/3/93/8
Summary:

Repeats that she is glad about Mr. Lloyd’s agreement to end his persistent courtship of her, which had caused her some anxiety, as mentioned in WCP1272; glad she finally decided to firmly decline; he graciously offers to remain a devoted friend. Will enter new school 25 Jan 1846; intends to send for their younger brother Herbert soon. Satisfied to be teacher, does not want responsibilities of becoming Headmistress. “Wish I possessed a fairy wand which could emancipate all slavery” but fears that might also unleash “all rising against their masters (the whites in general) without reserve….even the kind-hearted masters.”
