The letter is 1 leaf (bifold) and mounted in the volume. The leaf has been numbered 32 in the upper right-hand corner according to chronology and its order in the volume.  \n\nBront\u00eb thanks Miss Wooler for her 'kind warning' regarding Mary Nussey's sickness (Ellen Nussey's sister), which she had thought was a fever but is in fact typhus. She says Nicholls is even more thankful than she is as he was averse to her going even prior to this clarification. Bront\u00eb wishes 'medical men' were more 'candid in these matters' and she is unsure whether Ellen knows her sister is ill with typhus. As a result, Bront\u00eb is obliged to delay her visit to Brookroyd but she is disappointed both on her and Ellen's accounts and also disappointed not to meet Miss Wooler. She would like Miss Wooler to visit Haworth and says that everyone in the house would welcome her. Nonetheless, due to the difficulties of travelling during the winter season, she is 'diffident' of 'urging invitations'.\n\nShe adds a postscript regarding the Crimean War and 'its horrors'. She says that 'it really seems to me that no glory to be gained can compensate for the sufferings which must be endured' and that 'as we advance towards middle age - nobleness and patriotism have a different signification to us to that which we accept while young' (the Duke of Wellington featuring prominently as a hero in Bront\u00eb's juvenile writings). She adds that she still hopes to go to Brookroyd after Christmas and see Miss Wooler then. This is the final letter in this series written to Miss Margaret Wooler and the final letter written by Bront\u00eb in the chronological order. \n\nA full edition of this letter can be found in Margaret Smith's 'The Letters of Charlotte Bront\u00eb', Vol. 3 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 2004), p. 305."}]},"identifier":[{"accession_number":"Bront\u00eb(C)\/32","primary":true,"type":"accession number","value":"Bront\u00eb(C)\/32"},{"priref":"110010001","type":"priref","value":"110010001"},{"type":"uri","uri":"https:\/\/data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk\/id\/object\/110010001","value":"https:\/\/data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk\/id\/object\/110010001"}],"institutions":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"agent-149638","uid":"adlib-agent-149638","uuid":"7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8"},"summary_title":"The Fitzwilliam Museum"}],"lifecycle":{"creation":[{"date":[{"earliest":1854,"latest":1854,"value":"1854-12-06"}],"maker":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"agent-18451","uid":"adlib-agent-18451","uuid":"44ea0a4f-41b1-397c-9880-2ace1de3d0df"},"summary_title":"Bront\u00eb, Charlotte"}]}]},"measurements":{"dimensions":[{"dimension":"Length","units":"mm","value":"182"},{"dimension":"Width","units":"mm","value":"112"}]},"subjects":[{"@link":{"relation":"event","type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-108082","uid":"adlib-term-108082","uuid":"1c5310ee-4d1a-3a9a-98b3-45edd40b2c0e"},"summary_title":"Crimean War"},{"@link":{"type":"literal"},"name":[{"value":"Crimean War"}],"summary_title":"Crimean War"}],"summary_title":"MS Letter, Bront\u00eb to Margaret Wooler","title":[{"value":"MS Letter, Bront\u00eb to Margaret Wooler"}],"type":{"base":"object","type":"OBJECT"}}
