John Longsdon to Mother. Thanks for letter re receipt of hyacinth bulbs. Speaking of Kate's proposed return - will remain with the Miss Willingtons until Christmas Day, then accompany William to Doctors and spend the year out with him. After that hoped that Miss Barrow will have returned home from Newington Green where she is gone on duty as a nurse. Will see Mr M in Derbyshire very soon after Mrs M's confinement, an event expected almost daily. Kate very well and strong. Sorry to hear of death of George Barker - not so upset by deaths of Eleanor Carteill and old neighbour Mr Low. Pleasant letter from William of 1 November - about to quit country lodgings with their pleasant society where health must strengthened. |
