| Summary: | Ann Candler (1740-1814) was the daughter of William More glove maker in Yoxford, Suffolk, and mother née Holder. This autobiographical memoir takes the form of a letter to her patroness; it is bound with her poems, and relates her marital and financial problems. The loss of three of her nine children in infancy, desertion by her husband who enlisted as a soldier, and her life in the workhouse are all described. The troubled life of Candler reveals the 'circumstances of enlisted soldier's families during the 18th century, and the conditions and terms of existence within workhouses'. |
