CordeliaBeattie, 9 months ago to litodons Today is #WorldLetterWritingDay so I blogged about the Alice Thornton (1626-1797) letters we have found. While Thornton is best known for writing four books about her life, we know that she frequently communicated by letter and we have been able to trace 26 of her holograph letters, with the latest written only a year before her death. https://thornton.kdl.kcl.ac.uk/posts/blog/2023-09-01-Thornton-Letters/ @histodons @histodon @litodons #17thCentury #Letters
