Thomas Hollinshead to his sister Stanley, 24 January 1708
Thomas has received a letter from their father whose ailment is improving. Thomas suggests his father is somewhat undecided or confused about his plans to travel home and then to London, but Thomas suspects will mean he has to call their sister Nancy sooner than he had planned (presumably to care for their father).
