She was the oldest daughter of Robert Needham Cust and his wife Maria Hobart, and was born at Langdown House, Hampshire, the Hobart family home from 1849. Two months later her barrister father set off for British India, then torn by rebellion, where he would make a reputation as a colonial administrator and linguist. She had two sisters and two brothers; her mother died in 1864 a week after giving birth to a daughter. Her father returned from India; when back there in a senior administrative position, he took another wife, Emma Carlyon, who died in childbirth in 1867. He left India, and married again in 1868. Wherry's relationship with her father was intense, difficult and marred by grudges held. There was a serious break after her marriage. In 1881, Wherry married the surgeon George Edward Wherry. Wherry also trained as a nurse at Leicester Infirmary. During World War I, Wherry was stationed in Paris in the Women's Emergency Canteen at the Gare du Nord where she supported Allied forces from 1915 to 1918. Wherry is buried in St John the Baptist Churchyard. Her collected correspondence is archived by the University of Florida. --Wikipedia ; poem excerpt from "prince Lucifer", by Alfred Austin, then Poet Laureate; includes the poems "In the Golden Age" and "The Apotheosis of Beauty" by Percy Bysshe Shelley, and a selection from the poem, "Medea in Athens", by Augusta Davies Webster; excerpt from the poem, "The Earthly Paradise" by William Morris ; "The Twilight of the Gods - The Dead Pan" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, selections of poems by Matthew Arnold, Christina Rossetti, Peake, Shirley, Fletcher, Keats, Milton, Robert Browning, William Shakespeare, Thomas Haywood, Rowley, Longfellow, R.

4 pp, 12mo. Bifolium. 89 lines. Text clear and complete. She begins by apologising for the delay in sending an autograph: 'In atonement I give you Anthony Trollope's signature, which perhaps you have not got.' Reports that they 'went to the Italian lakes this summer. We aimed at Venice but gave it up because of the cholera.' She regrets that the recipient's 'friends book & chart do not prosper. Mr Bowes (the Macmillan of the shop) thought the chart a good plan and likely to succeed, except that the size would be against it'. She has been 'very busy at present, being on the committee of a meat association which is being got up among a number of families in Cambridge. I had an affecting interview with my butcher, one of the least dishonest in his prices, but I could not persuade him that it would be for his good to come to smaller profits. We shall part good friends, but we shall part.' Her husband and F. D. Maurice are that year's two new Final Science Examiners. Describes the nature of this 'cheap work'. Describes the behaviour of her young daughter Margaret ('reproving and instructing' her father, 'eating her fruit with the peel on').
