These three letters were sent to Lady Vaughan from Francis Williams and Elizabeth Puckering, whilst Rachel was still married to her first husband Lord Vaughan. The first two from Francis are largely adulatory but include reference to Francis's correspondence with Lady Vaughan's husband Lord Vaughan and mention of books Francis has promised to source for her. The letter from Elizabeth Puckering appears to be unrelated and mentions Mr Russell and Lady Devonshire briefly.
Correspondence of Rachel, Lady Russell (formerly Vuaghan and née Wriothesley)
