Contextual information

This is one of only two notes in the Maley Mill & Store Archives written by Mrs Buckley. Notes written by women at the time are scarce as most were illiterate. Mrs Buckley's husband was a former Private in the 1st Regiment East India Army, which explains the order for curry.
