      Title COPIES OF LETTERS FROM A BRENTWOOD SEMINARY
      Scope and Content Photocopies of letters written to a Mrs Balfour of Shapinsay, Orkney, by Mrs Holland and her daughter Charlotte Clifford 1808-1812 from a seminary in Brentwood run by Mrs Mitchell. Original letters are deposited in Orkney Archives. These letters form part of a larger collection of Balfour Papers in Orkney Archive (reference D2/27/22) and were written by Mrs Holland (formerly Clifford, formerly Montgomery nee Chute) and her daughter Charlotte Clifford to Mrs Balfour of Shapinsay, Orkney between 1799 and 1812. The letters copied here cover the years 1807 to 1812 when Mrs Mitchell moved her seminary from Wimeswold, co. Leics to Brentwood.
      Mrs Holland was born Mary Chute of Chute Hall co. Kerry in 1763, in 1781 married Alexander Montgomery and in 1797 met Colonel Thomas Balfour of Elwick, Shapinsay, Orkney conceiving a daughter by him. She fled from her husband and gave birth to an illegitimate daughter given the name "Charlotte Clifford" on 15 July 1799. Colonel Balfour died in Bath in September 1799 but his widow, Mrs Balfour made arrangements for œ31,000 to be invested for the child's education. In the meantime Alexander Montgomery returned to Ireland and divorced his wife by Act of Parliament. Mary Clifford married again, this also ended in separation and as Mrs. Holland she went to live from 1803 with her Swiss friend Mrs. Mitchell while her daughter was educated at her school.
