Her brother John had written to her giving advice on how to prepare for it. (He was a school teacher before he became a clergyman.) I'll link to the scan and transcript of the letter.The language and termininology are quite entertaining. Could the "Royal Sanitary Institute" exist today? "Inspector of Nuisances " is a wonderful job title.
Intriguingly, Jack signs the letter to his sister "with best love J. E. Lamin" not "Jack" or even "John"!
Was this just from habit after writing letters as a clergyman? Was he being a little pompous? Who knows?
