Title
Letter from John Linnell Bond to Eleanor Porden, returning book and acknowledging receipt of Valentine poem from her
Date
16 Feb [1808]
Description
Returning book Cambuscan, thanking her father for opportunity to read it; happy to hear how Mrs Kay and "the fair stranger" are; receipt of Eleanor's Valentine, which he finds extremely well expressed, particularly the last stanza; he likes the paper as well.
The note is only dated 16 Feb, but reference to Mrs Kay's child suggests the year is 1808 [her first child Mary Anne was born on 9 Feb 1808].
