Letter #5, Post #5

Saturday 28 January 2012
To Cassandra, from Rowling, "We have just got some venison from Godmersham, which the two Mr Harveys are to devour tomorrow; and on friday or Saturday the Goodnestone people are to finish their Scraps." - Jane Austen, Monday 5 September 1796

The word 'tomorrow' was superscripted over 'on Thursday', which was cancelled.

So, the Mr. Harvey's were coming to dinner on Tuesday, Mr. Richard Harvey and his son, Mr. Richard Harvey, jr. Mr. Richard Harvey, jr. was curate of Littlebourne, Kent at this time.

The 13th century church in Littlebourne is St. Vincent. This is a beautiful video made while the church was being prepared for a wedding.

It seems as though Edward and Fanny were very kind and hospitable people. They were close to their families and the people around them, very sweet.

I hope you have a great day!
Terrie
