Title	5 June 1852 P H Morewood (? George's widow) at Stoke to [William Longsdon] referring to long silence of both - surprised not to hear of Thornbridge when William wrote from Longsdon - probably Morewoods have left it - meant to write to him in April but at loss where to direct, and ill in May. Sorry to hear of his sister's family being so delicate, writer's daughter Jane has but one babe left, her 2 fine boys carried off by scarlet fever at one stroke. Here with daughter Agnes one of the twins - only one left. Husband died of cholera in Leeds a month before they were born - must have told him of this - 4 years ago. Came to Stoke in haste a month ago hearing writer was so ill to help nurse her. Very much better, gaining strength daily. Trust trial will be a blessing; Christian meditation on affliction. Sorry cousins at Bowden not in good health. Son George now with them - has been very poorly. Visited friend in Bolton at Christmas, they had one of Mrs Grafton Wilkes daughter's with them so writer went with her as she would return to Crewe with writer. Writer cannot do with the bustle of railway travel alone and Elizabeth and self cannot leave together. Writer has not been in Bolton since the time she met William at Manchester when she made a long stay. Mrs Grafton Wilks, writer believes, now in England, was to join her daughter in May or June. Betsey came for her health and is very nice girl, now writer hopes quite well again. Other 2 are married and have families. Daughters and G beg to join writer in kind regards.
