I am very glad the idea of a Company is given up & very glad that you can recommend a suitable Workman's Committee.
I don't think the Savings Bank should be given up on account of its being too much trouble. What I fear is that its publicity may ruin it. Workmen will not put by, will they?, in view of each other, & in view of their employers. They will not save except in secret.
However, Peach would be the man to manage it; because he knows them well.

I beg to give you joy & the Miss Hurts of the good prospects of the Whatstandwell Coffee room. And I look forward to the day that is near when Adam Prince will be found sitting there instead of being fished out of a Crich public house by his poor old mother after 3 days' drinking - as he was last winter I will not delay this scrappy note - else I fear it will never go at all.
Many thanks for your report of the Patients
& believe me
ever faithfully yrs
