Title	Anne Longsdon to Mr Longsdon, Little Longsdon
Date	2 Oct 1833
Description	Confirming that her friends at Mr Brookfield's share Dr Thompson's opinion that she has confirmed consumption and referring to her father's advice to her on his death bed that if she fell so ill that she was not likely to live to bring up her child should make a will leaving him to the person she trusts most, asks Urn's advice about making a will, asking William to be guardian of and father to his brother's child, mentioning his father's and her wish that he should have an excellent education. She states her anxiety about his soul and wishes him to be sent for a few years to Fairfield, a Moravian settlement near Manchester. Account of Henry's agony and grief when she is coughing and his cries that he cannot bear to part with her, and his prayers for her. Expresses her gratitude for all his kindness - him, his eldest sister and the kind family at the Cliff are the only individuals amongst her dear husband's connections who have not added contempt and insult to her heavy sorrows since widowed. Cannot talk about matter yet - so please write to her.
