Title
22 Feb 1835
Anne Longsdon to Miss Longsdon addressed care of Miss Gardam, Bowden, Altrincham, forwarded to Mr Cleggs, Ardwick Dye Works, Manchester - `My dear sister' Thanking her for kind letter received fortnight last Sunday evening same time as note from Mrs Saxton saying that her child was ill. Went to Darley Dale as soon as could get chance from Bakewell and find him very ill with scarlet fever. Stayed with him until allowed to bring him home on following Wednesday.
Mr Poyser said a risk then less than in another week. Anxious to bring him home to relieve minds of Mr and Mrs Saxton who were very much afraid of other boys taking fever or that report of fever being in school should reach parents of other pupils. Henry now recovering. Miss Morewood will be bearer of this. Her brother poorly, just received note saying really feels better. Been too ill to go and see him. News of several other invalids.
Wishes her and Miss Gardam every blessing in new residence.
4 March cross letter - letter delayed by Miss [Morewood]'s illness. Dr Reid pronounced Henry's throat well yesterday.
