John Longsdon at Heath to his mother. He has received the portmanteau with clothes and letter this morning. William's stockings and their coats fit very well. He will be glad to see Father at Heath in good health again and wants to speak to him about drawing. It will afford him great pleasure to draw Baddon or any other thing for Mr Barker, as she desires it. He is writing to James tomorrow or Sunday. He has no breeches for every day but old blue pantaloons and an old pair of James', both worn. He wants a pair of fustian, and a pair of strong shoes for William who is as badly off for shoes as John for breeches. He sends his duty to his parents and love to Uncle [John] and Kate. |
