Blue and White Linen Fashions stir Letters to Mr Deard
In a playful exchange Eleonora Hartingley writes to Mrs Singleton about fashion, humor, and domestic plans. She notes a prior resolution to wear blue and white checkered linen, teases the effect on their minds, and mentions arranging lodgings for Mrs Mountague at Hartingley Hall or Berkshire. She asks for a knotting shuttle shaped like an anchor and plans to sleep in a hammock, inviting Singleton to visit.
