Title	'Holker Letters', from children of Duke of Devonshire to Francis Meynell with explanatory introduction
Date	1904-1928
Description	Includes letters from Lady Dorothy Macmillan, née Cavendish (including letters sent from Government House, Ottowa, 1916-1917. The earliest letters are those written by the children when young. They are divided in section for each child (Maud, Blanche, Eddy, Rachel, Charlie, Anne and Dorothy, the latter being the largest section, and continuing later in date). Contains a few photographs: wedding, summer bathing, and a portrait of Duchess Evelyn with Lady Dorothy and Lady Rachel as children. The introductory text states that Francis Meynell was working in Barrow-in-Furness at the time and his aunt Emily probably instigated the visits to nearby Holker through Lady Edward Cavendish.
