Brontë [married name Nicholls], Charlotte [pseud. Currer Bell], novelist, 1816-55) Autograph address panel of a letter sent to her father, Rev. Patrick Brontë & with Autograph note by Patrick Brontë, sending a sample of Charlotte Brontë's handwriting, "The handwriting of Currer Bell - The many applications have prevented me from having any more to send P.B.", 2 circular ink post stamps, folds, 178 x 100mm., post stamp 19th June 1849 [& later note by Patrick Brontë after 1855]. ⁂ Anne Brontë died in Scarborough on Monday, 28 May 1849. Shortly after Charlotte and Ellen Nussey moved ten miles along the coast to Filey. From there they moved to the Hudsons at Easton Farm before Charlotte returned to Haworth on 20 June. It seems likely that this letter, addressed to her father was to announce her return home after the death of Anne. "A year ago - had a prophet warned me how I should stand in June 1849 - how stripped and bereaved - had he foretold the autumn, the winter, the spring of sickness and suffering to be gone through - I should have thought - this can never be endured. It is over. Branwell - Emily - Anne are gone like dreams... . One by one I have watched them fall asleep on my arm - and closed their glazed eyes - I have seen them buried one by one... ." - Charlotte Brontë
