Opis

The 300 letters written by members of the Jeake family create a narrative of business and family life in 17th and 18th century England. They reveal the importance of kinship in ensuring business and family survival during religious and political upheavals, and provide a rare glimpse into the life and work of 'middling-sort' woman, Elizabeth Jeake.
