Dear Cousin Mary ann
I do not think we shall come
to Gateacre a long time for we have
been to Harrogate lately and Miss
Roberts thinks we shall have too
Much holiday if we go from home again
This summer; I hope your Father &
Mother will let you come here; but I
must not dwell too long on this sub=
ject for I have a great deal more to
tell you; - We have had a flood
here lately which has done great da=
mage in the garden the harbour
is wash’d away & the willow walk
spoil’d so that we cannot keep shop
there again or play in it any more;
both the bridges are wash’d down & it
has left a great deal of sand

Details
Elizabeth Hatfield to Mary-Ann Nicholson, 2 September 1799
Providing brief details of their journey to Harrogate, and how this prevents them coming to Gateacre as they will have had too much holiday, hoping that Mary-Ann can visit them instead, detailing a flood that has done great damage in the garden stopping them from playing shop or playing in the willow walk again.
