Murray, Albert, Signalman Second Class.

This is a collection of letters received by Mrs Emma Murray in Battersea while her son was serving as a seaman in the Royal Navy and then when he was starting a new life in Australia. There are two related carte-de-visite photographs. The letters up to January 1876 were written on a regular basis (on most Sundays) and can be placed in chronological sequence. The later ones are more difficult to date and there are long interruptions in the correspondence.
