Some general tips:

  • The ‘Golden Rule’: Please transcribe exactly what is written in the letters (including any exact spelling, capitalization and punctuation). Try to replicate the layout, too (starting a new line when the letter writer does so).
  • Handwriting can be difficult to read. If something is illegible you can simply insert ‘[illeg]’. If you think you know what something says, but are not entirely sure (for example, if you think the word may be ‘butter’), you can insert ‘[?butter]’. Anything in square brackets is your comment (and not in the original).
  • Most letters are more than one page. If you wish to transcribe the whole letter, that’s terrific. But you can also choose to transcribe just one page if you prefer.
  • Your transcription will not go live immediately but will be quickly reviewed before being published on this page.
  • Use our ‘Guidance on Transcription’ if you are unsure how to record something.

Mary Twining to Richard Twining (junior), 30 September 1796

Writing to her grandson, Mary wonders if her house will be ready after redecoration and if the cook has arrived. She hopes his father will return to his apartments once the smell of paint has faded, and that his mother has returned from taking the waters at Tunbridge better for it. She discusses seeing several people and ends by hoping her son John’s leg is quite well.
