Bootle June 28th 1800
Dear Brother James
I like bathing a little,
& I think I shall like it very
well soon. I have bathed but
once. Bootle is a very pretty place,
we ride down to the sea in a
bathing cart, I shall bathe again
to-day; there is a very nice al=
=cove here on the bowling green
we have picked up some shells,
& will bring you some home,
Miss Roberts has given us a paper
bag to put them in. My father
is gone to Liverpool to-day. Is Hat=
=field very well? Do you think
[new page]
you shou’d like Bootle? Do you
know when we shall come home?
The roads are very sandy here
abouts. Miss Wilsons are very
nice little girls. I have given
my basket to Mr Nichols’s little
boy. Do you wish we were com=
=ing home? I have had the head
ache every morning since we
came. We do not bathe in our
bathing dresses. Our horse gallop=
=ed out of the field yesterday &
my father & another man stop=
=ped it. Miss Wilsons go to the
sea side every morning. I wish my
mother may come here on thurs=
=day. I shou’d like very well to see
you my little {?fat faced Jemmy}

Farewell & believe me your
Affecte Sister
