Elizabeth Nicholson to Mary Ann Nicholson, 23 July 1798
Elizabeth wants Mary Ann to come and sleep there. Discussion of dogs and eating dumplings, there are ‘seats outside’ which you can sit on if you are tired from walking. She wishes she had given her family kisses before leaving. She hopes that Sally’s tooth will get better. Her nose bled today, and she wants to know how Mary Ann’s cold and deafness are.
