Correspondence : with William and Jane Brookfield, [1834?]-1896 (bulk 1847-1854).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122591776

Thirty-one letters from Thackeray to Jane Brookfield, five to William Brookfield, and one to a Mr. Cazati; one from Jane Brookfield to Thackeray and five to a bookdealer (probably J. Pearson). Thackeray's letters to Jane cover a variety of topics in addition to their relationship, especially their families and mutual friends, his writings, his lecture tours and other travels, and his health. The letters to William are mostly apologies written after one of his periodic protests. Also present are eight envelopes addressed to Jane by Thackeray; two small sketches by him, one cut from a letter; and a newspaper obituary for Jane.
