Title
The Huntroyd Receipts. Loose slips.
Subject
Medicines and receipts or recipes. Items of interest.
Description
These pages and slips of paper form a further selection of items that were inserted loosely inside the folios. Some were pinned inside but with the passage of time the pins have fallen out and become lost.
Some are folded tightly and at some stage were carried around in a bag, perhaps, and are dog eared and worn along the creases and slightly dirtied.
Some are jottings on the backs of invoices and one is an envelope revealing the date 1808 which is our cut-off date for the collection.
They are not necessarily written by Charlotte and different writing styles are apparent.
They are a wonderful addendum to the whole book.
