Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. A very good clean copy with a small pen name. The correspondence of four women from the Hall family, writing from Canterbury to their relative Grace Neall in England. The letters were discovered in 2008 and provide a rare female, middle‑class perspective on colonial settlement. They describe the r…hythms of domestic life: raising children, managing households, dealing with servants, navigating health issues, and maintaining social ties in a young and still‑forming province. They also touch on church life, shopping, community events, and, in Rose Hall's case, occasional glimpses into her husband Sir John Hall's political world.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Letters to Grace Writing Home from Colonial New Zealand By Jean Garner (Edited by). Publisher: Canterbury University Press , 2011, first edition. Very good softback, some creasing to covers and corners, minor marks, no inscriptions. 203 pages, photos. This remarkable collection of letters provides… a rare female perspective on life in colonial Canterbury, when letter writing was the only way to keep a close relationship with family members on the other side of the world. The writers were four women of the Hall family. Unlike Charlotte Godley and Lady Barker, whose correspondence, experiences and impressions of the time have been widely promulgated, the Hall women were anonymous members of the middle class in England with no ties with the aristocracy. But ironically, the letters are significant partly because all four were the wives of public men in New Zealand, Rose being wife of Sir John Hall, who was Premier of New Zealand 1879-82. Sarah, Agnes Emma and Rose were married to three Hall brothers, and the youngest correspondent was Agnes' daughter, Agnes Mildred. The recipient was the elder women's sister-in-law, Grace Neall, in England. The women were typical of their time in that their lives and their letters focused on children, household duties, health, housing and servants. Outside the home, the main topics were church, shopping and social events, with Rose also occasionally commenting on her husband's political life. The letters came to light in England in 2008, found by a great-grandson of Grace, Tim Rix. He sent them to his distant cousin Kate Foster. Accompanying the annotated transcriptions of these letters, published here for the first time, is a superb essay by historian Jean Garner, introducing the Hall family and placing them, and this correspondence, in an appropriate historical context. ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK. All books are sent with free courier postage within New Zealand.
