This letter was written by May Morris to her mother Jane, around 1871. It describes her and her sister Jenny’s visit to stay with their grandmother Emma Morris and their aunt, possibly at Leyton House where Emma lived until July 1871, afterwhich she moved to The Lordship, Much Hadham. In the letter May mentions flowers in Epping Forest, suggesting the letter was written at Leyton as the Forest is nearer to Epping Forest than Much Hadham.
