Container Summary

Contains 5 ALS from Creighton to Mrs. Robert Woodward - @ The College, Worcester, 12/14/1890 w/ envelope: Dear Mrs. Woodward - Your letter was forwarded to me from Cambridge this morning, as we returned here on Friday. This will I fear be our last residence; you can believe that we are very sorry to leave Worcester... @ Langdale Lodge, The Avenue, Cambridge, 2/18/1891 w/ envelope: My dear Mrs. Woodward - Many thanks. I am afraid I wish that we had been left in peace, but I suppose we must do our duty. With love to your children, yours very sincerely, Louise Creighton. @ Bishop's House, Kennington Park, S.E. (crossed out), 2/19/1908: Dear Mrs. Woodward - I am afraid that I am engaged already on all the three dates you mention. May I venture to suggest that you should not ask more than one speaker from a distance. P.A.C. speakers are being very hard worked just now... @ The College, Worcester, 4/12/? : Dear Mrs. Woodward - It is very good of you to think of inviting our children but I feel very shy of accepting & burdening you with these wild creatures... @ The College, Worcester, undated: Dear Mr. Woodward - As you will perceive the old clothes have come. Will you please see that the boys wash and brush before meals & are not always little pigs & be very stern with them if they are wild... @ Louise Creighton, wife of the Bishop of London; born in Sydenham, July 7, 1850; the tenth child of Robert von Glehn; married Mandell Creighton, then fellow and tutor of Merton College, Oxford, January 8, 1872.
