Letter #5, Post #4

Friday 27 January 2012
To Cassandra, from Rowling, "Farmer Clarinbould died this morning, & I fancy Edward means to get some of his farm if he can cheat Sir Brook enough in the agrement.-" Jane Austen, Monday 5 September 1796

Oops, she forgot, How sad for Mrs. Clarinbould!
Sir Brook would have been Sir Brook-William Bridges, 4th Baronet of Goodnestone Park. He was Edward's brother-in-law.

John Claringbould was buried 11 September 1796.

This is the Devis view of Goodnestone Park after the natural landscaping during the 1770's. Goodnestone Park is open to the public to view the gardens. What a great way to spend an afternoon.

Have a great day!
