Title
27 August [1847]
Sydney Smithers at Scarborough [to William Longsdon] announcing death of daughter [Rose] in early morning, asking him to break news at Churchdale - fear most for poor Madge who went away most unwillingly.
Asking Mr Taylor to send to meet train tomorrow at Chesterfield at 6½ pm. Tell Joe to come himself with a Fly at same hour. Wish him to return with body to ensure decorum on the road - and he must also send cart for luggage. Order work room prepared with trestles and boards. They should reach home between 8 and 9 and body of writer's poor child perhaps an hour later. Wishes her to be laid in Longstone church yard.
