Dear Brother
My early answer to your last is in
consequence of Thos Barnetts having absconded
We have no seen him since Sunday and he has
got the Keys of the Garden and of his own room so
that the Boy who is engaged can not come, we
think he has gone to Manchester and you had
better send Benjn to his house to know if he
is come and if he is to get the {^keys}. I hear you have had a kick
up with Mrs Bradbury but cannot learn what about
Miss Smithson is so very dubious that there is no
knowing any thing clearly from her. I also hear it
is all over with you and Miss P but do not know
the reason for that neither, nor do I think that is
known at all here.
I think you are set up now with your gold watch
[new page]
chain and seals I think he has rather exceeded
expectations. Don’t you think you could get
a week to come over here it is a good while
since I saw you I believe you are very much
altered having become the ‘steady man’.
I think
hand I have written to her lately but have
not yet had an answer.
I remain yours very sincerely
