Letters and poems sent from India, 1936 to 1941, by Margaret Mary Cuerden (nee Beal), born in Darjeeling, in September, 1914, who wrote to her mother and siblings following her return to India after education in England. They present a fascinating insight into the life and experiences of a young lady, living and working in India, at this time, and latterly as the wife of an officer in the (British) Indian Army.
