Stewart, David S. to Julia Briggs, 1988-05-03

"Dear Julia Briggs I read your book 'A Woman of Passion' with much interest. The information regarding Alice Hoatson was of particular concern. As part of my own studies on the history of the education of the mentally handicapped I have encountered her sister Marion Hoatson. She was employed as a teacher at the Metropolitan Asylum's Board School for Idiots at Clapton in 1875 and later became Head Schoolmistress at the Idiot Schools at Darenth, Kent where she remained until her retirement at 57 in 1906..."
