Ellen Nussey

Isn't it interesting that Ellen said "in faith to his wife's wishes", as if Charlotte had wished Ellen to receive back all her letters...this seems mysterious! I can't imagine that Charlotte would have burned the letters...she was in the habit of keeping such things so dear to her...very curious!

I have a lot of questions as well.
  • Ellen was worried about Charlotte when she was ill. She wrote letters. But A.B. Nicolls said:  in fact I cannot remember having ever seen a scrap of her handwriting.
  • Charlotte kept the letters of Mary. Why not letters of Ellen?
I started to be curieus about the sources we have from Ellen.

I found this Reminiscences of Charlotte Bronte from Ellen Nussey.

  1. It's still such a mystery to me...did Arthur dislike Ellen so much that he would have gotten rid of her letters? I can't imagine such a thing. I found Ellen's book "Reminisces" online and look forward to reading it. Was there a page you were particularly linking too...if so, the link didn't connect. I enjoyed "hearing" her voice, even though it wasn't to Charlotte.
