My dear Sir
I am so very sorry that all the birds are flown. My Fanny is at Church with a note from ^me to^ you :
Mrs Francis with her, with Francis' empty bottle. Francis is, I take it, at chapel. He is somewhat better. But I should like you to have seen both Francis & Fanny.
You will find my note when you go home
To it I would add:
Harriet Limb has promised me to "put into" the "Women's Club" I presume she must be "passed" by you. Could you kindly, when you call upon her mother, keep Harriet up to the mark, & do about "passing" her whatever you judge right?
Could you kindly tell me what you think about the old lady, Joseph Smith's wife?
These last days rather knock me up :
yrs sincerely
F. Nightingale |
