To Everina Wollstonecraft
"Dublin, February 12th
... Last Sunday I went to church, the service discomposed - hurried - my spirits - Lady K sat me down at Mr. Home's when I got to the house I fell into such a violent fit of trembling as terrified Betty Delane ... ... Mr & Mrs Home are still in the country - ... ... Betty D. has spent two evenings with me and her conversation is so much superior, to what I met generally, it is quite a treat to me ... ... I am sorry for poor Howett - Betty Delane read his sermons with great pleasure."

To George Blood
"London, February 28th
... ... Why did you entangle yourself again in Mr. Home's affairs? ... ... Tell Bess Delane I will not allow her to find fault with the language I am learning in which I am told the sweetest verses are written ... ... I have not visited Mrs. H. lately - she seems very near her time, and he is apparently attentive - I cannot warm to him. I see the snake in the grass - Give my love to your mother - and give Bess a still kinder assurance of my affection I shall write to her when I have seen Susan, ... .."

Research Note :-
Janet Todd in her "Collected Letters of Mary Wollstonecraft" makes the point that Robert Home had just moved from Dublin to London to seek more work - and probably not repaying George Blood the money he was owed.

Letters of Mary Wollstonecraft in London.1

To Eliza Bishop
"London, Thursday noon
I called on the Homes last week - their affairs are still unsettled - yet I believe she is determined to return to Ireland - for I hinted to her it would be the ruin of Mrs. B. if she was kept long out of her money - he intends to take the greater part of what he gets with him. I have not heard from them since, of course suppose that they have given up all thoughts of Putney - I will however call again. - I am a little disappointed - because they spoke to Mrs. B. nay, they seemed fixed - he is sly ... ...
with the () answer of the Homes, but I think you had better hint to Mrs. B. your doubts - I am sorry they ever mentioned it ... ..."

Research Note :-
1) Janet Todd in her "Collected Letters of Mary Wollstonecraft" puts this letter has having been written in mid 1790.

Letters of Mary Wollstonecraft in Warminster.1

To Everina Wollstonecraft
"Saturday night, September 4th 90
I have heard from Mrs. S. which you will see when I return - as part of it is addressed to you two. - She gives too good a reason for her silence - I am afraid by her account poor Mrs. Home is in the last stage of a consumption"

Died in Ireland, Dublin, Rathfarnham.2

Research note :-
2) The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography states that she died in 1790 in London but gives no source for this. It has been impossible to find any burial record.
2) Mary Wollstonecraft was able to write to her sister, Everina, on 4th September 1790 that she had just heard from Betty Delane, now Mrs Hugh Skeys, that Susanna was in the terminal stages of TB. Therefore her death is most likely to have been within the last four months of 1790.

Letters of Mary Wollstonecraft in London.1

To George Blood
"London, February 4th 91
Poor Susan has haunted me ever since I read your letter to Elizs - I only received it this morning, and I have not been able to drive her image from my mind, though I do not think that her death should be regretted on account of her children, for she would never have been an active mother - and they may be as well taken care of, putting tenderness out of the question, as if their mother was still alive. I shall write to Bess by this post, for I know the tenderness of her heart ... ...
Nay procure for you a comfortable situation if you should ever determine to leave Skeys."

Research note :-
George Blood was working for Hugh Skeys in Dublin at his shop in Great Britain Street.
