Early on Saturday morning, 31 March 1855, Charlotte Bronte dies. Arthur Bell Nicholls writes to Ellen Nussey:
'...Our dear Charlotte is no more - She died last night of Exhaustion. For the last two or three weeks we had become very uneasy about her, but it was not until Sunday Evening that it became apparent that her sojourn with us was likely to be short - We intend to bury her on Wednesday morn[in]g'.
