| Title | 11 August 1811
Mother to John Longsdon - meant to write long letter but surprise when father brought John's letter to Bubnell put out of her head. Much concerned about his headaches. Have thought of going to sea because fortnight ago when very unwell father said if she wished to try sea bathing he would make no objection but not convenient for a son or brother to take her there - season far advanced - thinking of meeting him instead next spring. Given it up for this year.
Particularly pleased on William's return with his manners and conduct which a little resembled John's - reason to think him much gratified by his journey yet he is very silent.
Barker's much concerned about John but sensible of his civilities to him. Mrs H B [Harriet Barker] has left Ashford but received habit in time to wear it day it arrived to come to dinner. Miss M's friends at the cottage are well.
See Mr & Mrs William M several times. Poor M at Rawdale low, dejected and melancholy from late loss.
Take care. Wish to get John a piece of cloth for shirts from Johnson; send her a shirt to make by. |
