There are many little references and rabbit holes to fall down this issue. In this column, the first letter is written by Bertha Mason form the novel Jane Eyre. The second letter was written by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. A poet and painter who is known, amongst other things, for illustrating Goblin Market. He fell victim to drugs and alcohol after the death of his wife, Elizabeth Siddal. The third was written by Miss Havisham from Great Expectations.

The second letter also references Highgate Cemetery. Which is also referenced in a few other articles as well.
I mention that because The Curator seems to like the idea of heading to Hightgate.
Not sure what to do with the info, but it might be worth discussing.

As an aside, the byline for Auntie Agony is Anne Tigony. For those who may not know...I believe it is for Antigone. Antigone is a tragedy by Sophocles written in or before 441 BC.

Or it could be "antagony", as she doesn't always seem to give the best advice.
