The Huntington Library (San Marino, CA) presents a new exhibition that includes a letter by Charlotte Brontë to Ellen Nussey (not sure if more Brontë items):
Huntington Art Gallery, Large Library
Sat., Dec. 13, 2025–Mon., June 15, 2026
Get a behind-the-scenes look at two centuries of the everyday lives of women writers through ephemera, letters, and journals.
“From Brontë to Butler” draws on personal writings and objects to reveal the private lives and creative processes of women writers from the early 1800s to today.
Anchored by Charlotte Brontë and Octavia E. Butler as chronological bookends, the exhibition brings together journals, letters, photographs, and personal items that bridge time, geography, and social context. Whether exploring family and marriage, work and gender roles, or the city of Los Angeles itself, the exhibition reveals common threads that connect individual experiences across generations.

The exhibition also features Charlotte Brontë’s letters to her close friend Ellen Nussey, offering glimpses into the novelist’s concern for her ailing sister Anne in the wake of the deaths of her sister Emily and brother Bramwell (sic).
