Yours I receiv’d this morning, & am not at
all surpriz’d at your expecting a letter, I
intended to have wrote, but forgot, till after
post time, this I hope you’ll excuse as it was
not wilfully done. I approve of your plan
of my coming home very much & Mrs I
together with your little Niece & {^either Mr} or} Miss Sutton
will accompany me in a Chaise on Friday
morning to meet you {^& Willm} at Macclesfield by
one aClock if nothing happens. I am really
very sorry to hear of such confusion at Manr
& hope nothing so gloomy will be the event
as to cause any necessity for a removal
if there shoud, you’ll be kind enough to
write me by return & I shall have it on
Friday by breakfast time but I trust the
Lord will restrain the wrath of foolish man

in other places has been the case. Present
