LETTERS FROM H.K. CORNISH AND HIS FAMILY TO HIS SISTER CHARLOTTE

Scope and Content

(LATER SHORE) AND HER FAMILY

Charlotte Cornish (1800-1883) was Hubert's second sister, who married the Hon. Frederick Shore. They spent most of the 1830s in India, when most of the surviving letters from Hubert were written (viz. C6/7-31). Cornish's letters to his sister (abbreviated as CC or CS) and brother-in-law (abbreviated as FJS) often mention his interest in music, and his thoughts on politics.
