| Title | Elizabeth Longsdon at Scarborough to her husband, Mr Longsdon, Longsdon, near Bakewell, Derbyshire, posted Middleton via Sheffield, addressing him as "My dear Sir". She has read his few lines in Mrs Cresswell's letter to Miss Needham. She sent a letter last Wednesday to Elizabeth with a few lines to him acknowledging his letter and bill.
Katharine and she each had a very pleasant dip in the sea this morning and she regrets there will only be another dip or two. Mrs Morewood feels no better, neither from the air or sea bathing. She wants to leave and does not expect to stay beyond Monday week 14th at most. Mrs Wright will not be here until Monday or Tuesday and they want a few days with her. If alone Mrs Longsdon would have felt it her duty to their dear girl to stay a full two months because she is now fast gaining strength.
Addendum, Sunday. She has received Elizabeth's letter and is sorry the Hay was not finished. She fears Elizabeth's health will suffer from confinement to the house and urges her husband to take her out all he can and keep Miss Walker with them.
Addendum, Monday. She is delighted with his letter prolonging their stay a short while. Mrs Morewood has had a letter from Mrs Rawson pressing her to visit Halifax [West Yorkshire] on her way back. She wishes she could consult him but begs his pardon if she does wrong in accompanying her friends for two days stay to Mrs Rawson's. She must go or else travel home alone with Kate, which he would not wish. They leave on Friday morning. She asks him to try to meet them at Mrs Rawsons. |
