London. William Longsdon to Mother. Glad she doesn't object to American plans which go forward. No answer from Father.
Glad she engages in repairs to House - delayed quite long enough. If send measurements for parlour carpet and paper, William will suit taste at lower price than Sheffield. Balance of Father's account with Morewood after paying for wine £9 so better make a remittance - cannot doubt doing so when writer looks at a small amount of her household expenses for last year - with exception of taxes, £200 will pay whole including incidental expenses for Bessy and Kate such as Postchaise or Assembly. Expect James' expenses at Cottage might be more. |
