Title	Letter from Letter from Prudence Penelope Cavendish Bentinck, Badger Hall, Shifnal [Shropshire] to Rawdon Brown; undated [c.1860]
Date	c.1860
Extent	2 ff
Level	Item/file
Content Description	Sends thanks for the clasp. Enquires about friends in Venice including the Pisani and Marcello, and provides brief social news about friends and family. Claims that they 'do not think much of Garibaldi's battle' which was 'entirely won by the help of Piedmont and I'm ashamed to say our English Gunners'. Date: The letter is simply dated Monday. Discussion of a clasp would possibly suggest it dates from around the same period as Pw M 347 [1860], and other internal evidence probably refers to the Garibaldi uprising of 1860.
Term	revolutions, Italy 1860
