This is really excellent. when are you going to put the letters on?
I look forward to reading the letters as the introduction seems enticing.
don't keep us waiting i'm looking forward to them!
Really,really interesting letters and commenteries,and on jsut a blog too.I reiterate,publish them,it wil be worth the effort.
These letters were such an amazing surprise to me ,such a delight that I want to ask you,publish more and from the beginning.You speak of an earlier time I would wish to see the development of the circumstances and the love affair which became such a bedrock for the children that seemed to be always put first in the heart of their father,yet along side his career and love for his wife.
I feel that i would like to explore the newspaper of the time to place the history and perhaps naval history books.i especially would like to see more photos both public and private.It is such an excellent idea publishing these,is there not a book in this.
exceptional!
It would be good to go beyond the 3 letters your so far have published as this extraordinary grandfather and admiral's letters shows a potentiality that is both enticing and endearing and an amazing window onto the past.
these letters are remebering my those old days, when i recieved letters from my husband who worked as an army in europa in 1832
please put some more of these pictures. i will read them everyday.
I do really look forward with great anticipation to you adding more archivial letters,they are amazing !Lucky you to have such a grand father !
Brilliant!
Thank you for sharing these,but really please publish some more,this is a veriable treasure trove.
I I can only repeat that you must provide more of these letters.They are too interesting to leave in your treasure chest,dont let the archives get dusty,share the weath of these historical documents s'il vous plait !
I think that you have a cousin who is the President of the British Geological Society,or was,I believe this gentleman is also his grandfather,so clearly the influence of such an amazing grandfather has permiated through the genetic generations.
These really are fantastic letters !
So at the risk of repeating my self,publish more of these amazing letters.
This man not only served his family and his country but has left a memorial of lettrs which reach through time.I especially liked the ship in is tranquil water seeming so unaware ofthe tumultuous time ahead.
i wanna read more
I really do find these letters most interesting but their has been a while since you have posted any ad yet I am patiently waiting.They are such a tremendous parall to the For Valour Victoria Cross posts a different sort of narrative more exciting really because they are the expressions of the man himself,not the narrator who alsmost facsimilies the past.They are a good foil for each other,a splendid read both of them,really you certainly should publish.
this is a very good work
