Tylor quotes a letter from Lewis W. Taylor & Co. stating, "Mrs. Grace understands that the children's school holidays begin on the 27th March and she suggests that the children should come straight from school to her and stay with her and John until the 6th April. Harriet and her husband are expecting to take a holiday in the south during the same period and it is suggested that they should all join up. Will you please let us know if these dates are agreeable to Lord and Lady Russell."
