Summary
Correspondence of G.G. Ducarel to his wife, Mrs. Ducarel or Sharaf-un-Nisa, regarding his travels and their family
Notes
- One title page with designated recipient on f. 2v, on f1r, f1v, and f2r is the main body of the letter; f2v is written sideways or 90 degrees counterclockwise; text is written in neat rows; there are holes in the paper, as well as black circular markings. Elizabeth, or Baby Foulkes, is G.G. Ducarel's grandaughter, borne to his daughter Elizabeth (Betsy) and her husband Archibald Foulkes. William, Mary, and Philip are also G.G. Ducarel's children. Jenny and Haddy may be nicknames for his two other children, Jane and Harriet. In his letter, Ducarel assures that his ship has "nothing to fear from the French." At this time, the French Revolutionary Wars were pitting France against Great Britain, Austria, Prussia, the Holy Roman Empire, and other European monarchies.
