The letter written by Mrs Heelis to John Mackereth who was Beatrix Potter's first farm manager at the time. The Mackereth family lived at Hill Top as Beatrix had married and moved to a cottage nearby. The trip was to the funeral of Beatrix Potter's brother and she laments that "he could not die for his country in France since he was appointed to die, it seems a pity for a man to die in bed".
