Letters from the Joan Hackworth-Weir collection 2
I think this letter is from 28th Jan 1926 to cousin Esther (Miss Hackworth), 5 Gordon Tce. Thornaby on Tees is from Robert Young (author of the book on Timothy Hackworth) at 29, Chapel Park road, St. Leonards by the Sea. It concerns an article on Hackworth in The Locomotive. http://www.abebooks.co.uk/LOCOMOTIVE-MAGAZINE-RAILWAY-CARRIAGE-WAGON-REVIEW/1083058446/bd

An unposted envelope with a note by Harry Parsons and containing a watercolour painting of Mrs Timothy Hackworth (Jane Hackworth née Golightly) with a note written on the back of the watercolour.
Harry Parson’s note reads –
“ The Original Painting of Mrs Timothy Hackworth. Bernard Young of Leeds has the one of Timothy and tried several times to get this to make up the pair. The Hackworth family would never agree and thought he should return to the one of Timothy to the direct descendants.” Harry Parsons
The back of the painting 4″ by 5″ (ish) reads –
“Mrs Timothy Hackworth. The property of Miss Hackworth, 5, Gordon Tce. Thornaby on Tees.”
