| Title | 29 January 1800
Elizabeth Longsdon at Longsdon to James Longsdon at Revd Mr Ashridge's, Heath, addressed to her dear James. She is sending with the letter a few shirts and things which they will want. She cannot send their box before next week because William Bennet has not done the things to be sent in it. Papa has a little cold and has not quite fixed about his journey. He thinks of going this week. Her cold is better. She rode with Papa to the Cliff [Stoney Middleton] yesterday and found James' uncle, aunt and cousins all well. She fears his cousins John and Thomas [?Gardom] had a very bad walk to Heath. She tells James to return the basket sent by Thomas Elliott with their things, and promises to forward their box as soon as things are ready. She hopes all are well and free from cold. His father and sisters unite with her in affectionate love to him and his brothers. Compliments to Mr A. Subscribed "Very sincerely yours Eliz Longsdon". |
