General

From included inventory: "This is just an envelope filled with stamps. From the postmark I surmise this contained a lost letter from Elizabeth Clark Noble dated 16 April 1893. I have a transcription from Helen’s files, but the original is apparently lost. A copy of the transcription is included now with the envelope. Lizzie Clark is the daughter of Mary Cooper’s sister Sarah, who lived in a town north of Nottingham called Harrowgate, Yorkshire. Lizzie was two years older than our Sarah Oakey and the family is frequently referenced before the passage to Utah in Tom’s diary."
