Jane Austen's Writing Box

Jane Austen's Writing Box

"At Chawton, Jane placed her writing slope on a tiny round table next to a window in the sitting room."

In 1798 Jane and her writing box were briefly separated. Her letter written from the "Bull and George in Deptford  to her sister Cassandra gives a good idea as to how important the writing box was to her.
