The file comprises a typescript memoir of a young person's relationship with the explorer H. M. Stanley. As a little girl and young woman, Effie Barrow met Stanley on several occasions. Stanley was a friend of her father and would occasionally visit their home in Bristol. Effie received a personal invitation to Stanley's wedding at Wesminster Abbey. Her reminiscences begin in 1886 with Stanley's dinner with her parents and include an account of the wedding and reception at Stanley's house in Richmond Terrace.
