Scope and content
Letter from Mrs Sarah Liston to Sabilla Novello, 5 October Tuesday [1847?], 14 St George's Place. 'My dear Sabilla, will you with your brother Alfred give me the pleasrue of your company to dine on Saturday next Oct 9th: ... '. The first page of the letter has a mourning border and so may date to not long after John Liston's death in 1846. It is addressed to Miss Sabilla Novello, presumably the singer Sabilla Novello (1821-1904).
