Letter Transcriptions

From the hundreds, possibly thousands, of letters that Mariana and Anne Lister exchanged throughout their relationship, very few survive today. The letters that do survive can be found (so far) at the West Yorkshire Archive Service (Halifax, UK) and the Cheshire Archives (Chester, UK). 

You can read the transcriptions of the surviving letters here, or check out Anne Lister's Letter Bag on Packed with Potential to view an ongoing list of the correspondence mentioned in the journals
