John Longsdon to mother. Writer hears from [George Morewood] that she arrived home improved in health, Katie particularly so. Wishes she, Bessy were coming. Has got his rooms now painted and papered, is really quite smart. Hopes very much to see her next spring. If she can get cloth in her neighbourhood, will send shirt. If she wants him to get cloth, let him know by Mr [George Morewood]. Wants half a dozen cotton stockings from her brother G G, same sort he let T G have at 2/6 per pair. Wants these much and deferred buying them because cost him 1/6 a pair more in same quality. William can forward them if she will get them run in the heel before they go to Manchester. Expects news when Mr G M arrives. If he doesn't make her neighbourhood more pleased it is a pity he left this - for it is much less so to writer than it used to be. Please send basket of poultry - wishes to present some to W Whateley and Mrs Ballard having received great civilities from each of these families. Please ask Mrs G M to send Mrs B through Mr G the little boy's measurements to have some clothes made from - frocks.
John Barker still at Northampton and likes the services. |
