“Friday April 23rd 1852 My very dearest Annie, This to you in some haste for I have much work to do and a mere five minutes before I have to catch the postman. This office is a treasure house, where I believe I have found the material evidence I have been seeking all week, not hearsay or gossip this time but written records. There are two reporters here who have offered to help me – uncle and nephew and both knowledgeable – and I have already seen a list of the jurymen who served at Blake’s tria...l and – which is even better – discovered the names of the villagers who gave evidence on his behalf, and there are more papers to come. By the end of the day I feel sure I shall have reached the truth about this trial and possibly solved my mystery into the bargain.
I intend to travel home tomorrow on the morning coach and shall be with you by evening, when I will tell you everything I have discovered. No time for more now, the postman is walking through the door.
Your most loving husband, AG Summer 1803 Life in Felpham was revolutionised by the arrival of the 1st Royal Dragoons.MoreLess Read More Read Less
