TitleExtract from a letter to an unknown recipient, from Lady Olivia Bernard Sparrow

Quite a rambling letter, in which she attempts to piece together her grandson Lord Frederick's movements in New Zealand and Australia before his death in 1854. Mentioning Mr Wakefield, Mr Christmas, Archdeacon Cowper and Sir O. Gibbes. She made herself responsible for his debts in Australia but still worries that she did not act in time to save him.
