OLIPHANT, Margaret (1828-1897). Novelist & historical writer.
Autograph Letter Signed to Taylor, 2 pages 8vo, The Crescent, Windsor, 15 October no year. Reminding Taylor of his promise to lecture to the Literary Society at Eton and sadly reporting that it is to be her last 'half' as her younger son leaves at the end of the term.
The early death of her husband left Margaret with the necessity to support her two sons with her writing. Upon the bankruptcy of her brother, she took on the burden of educating his children as well.
