First time a member of the Heger family visited Haworth August 26th, 1953

Wednesday, August 26th, 1953, will, henceforth, be a memorable date in the history of the Brontë Society, for on that day for the first time a member of the Heger family visited Haworth. Mme. Lucien Beckers, née Simone Heger, is the grand-daughter of M. and Mme. Constantin Heger through her father, Dr. Paul Heger. It was Dr. Paul Heger, it will be remembered, who presented the four letters written by Charlotte to his father, to the British Museum in 1913. Before coming to Yorkshire, M. and Mme. Beckers inspected these letters in their British Museum setting.
