Letters from Emily Jones, Fern Hills, Penang, Malaysia to Mary Cottenham Yeats.
Description
The first relates news regarding several events attended/organised by Jones in Malaysia; these include a visit by the ‘Singapore cricketers’, and a programme of events including music, dancing, and a fancy dress ball for children. Also writes about her sisters, the weather, and insects. Tells Mary Cottenham Yeats that she would not like to return permanently to England as she would miss ‘the fun’ they have in Malaysia, but still longs to see England again. The second of these letters thanks Mary Cottenham Yeats for photographs she sent and highlights that it is six years since they have seen each other. Jones also details a protracted illness (lung condition) which has forced her to withdraw from her engagements.
