Description | Letters in this section are mostly between John Garnett and Harriet Martineau, although other letters are included to and from Francis Holl; Atkinson; Margaret Gillies; William Banks; George Smith; Maria Martineau; Banks & Co. and McQueen Bros. The correspondence relates to the illustrations, engravings and publication of Martineau's 'Sketches from Life'; the autobiography; and discussions surrounding a book on the Lake District by Mr Linton and Harriet Martineau's 'Guide to the Lake District'. |
Notes | The original paper catalogue listed these letters as being from Jeremiah Garnett, but they are in fact largely to and from John Garnett. Letter HM/330 is signed in full by John Garnett, as is the statement of accounts HM/336, and his address 'Post Office, Windermere' on some of his letters in this section matches that of other letters by him in the Martineau family papers collection (see reference HMM/B/3). |
