A final substantial collection of letters from Charlotte's husband, the Revd AB Nicholls, rounds off the biographical material (Nicholls' hand-copied collection of his wife's poems is included too).
Charlotte's final illness, now seemingly associated with pregnancy, is recounted by Nicholls to Ellen Nussey in a remarkably reserved manner.
Nicholls retains his formal composure throughout even when commemorating his just departed wife: she was 'as good as she was gifted'.
