#OTD in 1735, Montagu wrote to the Duchess of Portland. 1 of only 3 letters written in 1735;‘I have long observed it has been the custom with insipid letter writers, to begin with telling their correspondents they have nothing to say that is entertaining’ emco.swansea.ac.uk/emco/letter-vi…

#OTD in 1768, Montagu wrote to Elizabeth Carter. She discussed the weather and its affect on husband, Edward; ‘This variation in the weather agrees ill with Mr Montagu[…]The quick & entire condition of his mental faculties make his bodily decays more felt’emco.swansea.ac.uk/emco/letter-vi…

#OTD in 1774, Elizabeth wrote to her husband, Edward. In this letter she wrote about having just arrived at Tunbridge to take the waters. She also discusses the social season; ‘The Balls & amusements are not begun, tho the company is rather increased’. emco.swansea.ac.uk/emco/letter-de…

#OTD in 1786, Elizabeth Montagu wrote to her sister Sarah Scott. She discusses Sarah's ill health, as well as the ill health of her nephew, Matthew; ‘The long days in the House of Commons, & the heat of London, have so far affected Montagu’s constitution’. emco.swansea.ac.uk/emco/letter-de…

🎃🧙‍♀️Happy Halloween! While Halloween is not directly mentioned in her letters, there's plenty of Halloween-esque imagery to find: 'The common people have an opinion that a Witch has not a power to hurt any one [...] from whence this spirit proceeds' emco.swansea.ac.uk/emco/letter-vi…

It is Guy Fawkes Night! It seems that Montagu had her own bonfire in her dressing room a few days before: '4 o'clock in ye morning, my attention was alarmd by a crackling like ye alightning of a wood fire [...] saw ye red light of flames, they cryd fire' emco.swansea.ac.uk/emco/letter-vi…🔥
