  PRISONER’S LETTERS FROM MUDGEE GOAL
  A group of (3) letters written on “G.186” forms provided to prisoners periodically, depending on the relationship of the correspondent: 1885 (Jan.) letter from Thomas Lambert to his mother; 1896 (April) letter from Mary Mason to her mother; 1900 (June) letter from Mary Mason to her mother.
• Notes:
  Letters from female prisoners are particularly rare. In her earlier letter, Mary Mason reports that she has only a little over a month to serve “then I will come home to live with you for ever...” In her later letter she reports that “my trial is on the 25 of July”.
