| Title | 14 August 1827
Anne Longsdon to William Longsdon at Shuttleworths, Manchester. Did not receive William's letter from Manchester addressed to executors until this morning. Various executors away so writing to explain that no modified proposals were made because thought best to defer further discussion until William's return from London - expected about 25th.
Misconceive motives of self and trustees - have no interest but of self and child - services gratuitous. Must be aware have most troublesome unpleasant duty to perform. Share her anxiety to keep as much as possible of estate for "my darling child".
Wish to pay William's father legacies to full though William himself told her two years ago that he had given up £1,000 and his sister £500 each on account of embarrassed state of affairs of family. Had extra £2,000 now claimed been utmost of husband's property would have been cheerfully paid if depended on her. Prays that he and she and all their hearts hold dear shall find peace her husband found through same Almighty saviour. |
