Title
Bridlington Quay. T Barker to James Longsdon. Mrs Barker's thanks for telling her of Mr M's visit. Hopes to see John too on their return. Obliged for their father's congratulations on disposal of Middleton. Expected fate of Bubnell Farm settled before Bessy wrote but she says she has learned nothing.
Obliged if James would go over writer's farm and inform him how all stock and crops going on, not forgetting the Eddish, hopes James has been able to sell brown cow and tell William to bring a load of malt from Cockhill the next time he goes for coals.
Excellent seabathing place; Noble Bay where vessels like to anchor in rough weather. Yesterday morning 60 lying about half a mile from pier and 30 in harbour. Most sailed in evening in groups. Beautiful sight with declining sun fully on their sails. Hoped to see James last Wednesday and Thursday now given him up. Details of bathing.
