Title4 April 1803
Elizabeth Longsdon to James Longsdon, junior at Nottingham. Father and Uncle Gardom are riding to Nottingham. She has not forgotten his stockings and his Uncle George tells her they will be sent in a few days. She is sending a waistcoat by Father, and hopes he likes it. Kate sends love and says your ewe has 2 pretty ewe lambs, William's has 2. She can say nothing of the others. Father will have much to say about the cattle he brought at Chesterfield Fair. James junior's, cousin E Gardom is here and will stay till Father's return. His cousins Sarah and William spent yesterday with them. She had a letter from his sister [Elizabeth] last week. She is well but several young ladies have gone home ill from Miss Bradley's including his cousin Ann Gardom. His grandmother has been very poorly but is now something better.
The Nottingham scene will be new to him but she fancies he will not be much in the bustle of it. She is happy that he likes Nottingham and hopes that he will make the most of his opportunities in his few months there.
