But wasn't part of the money Written by CarolTS (9/6/2009 1:08 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, "Five hundred a year", penned by Elizabeth K

to go for the daughters' doweries? That would mean that every time a daughter married, there would be less for the rest of the family, unless they married very well. But from the way they talk in the book, there doesn't seem to be money to get to places where wealthy people are in order to get the girls engaged.
