My dear Mary Ann
As I am able to
write a few lines to you today,
I auld not omit the opportunity
of thanking you by my Cousin
Holmes, for your pretty present
of Poems, they afforded us some
amusement, but were wanting
[new page]
of Instruction;
I hope my Uncle and Bessey
will arrive safe at home
to-day it was a very fine
morning when they set off.
They paid us a very unexpect=
=ed Visit, but that did not
lessen our pleasure of seeing
them; I wish my Uncle
could have left Bessey with me
[new page]
that I might have enjoyed her
company no I am better.
I have heard very little of the
Ormskirk Roscius and do not
know whether he intends coming
to Manchester. I am tired of
writing, therefore have only to
add that I am yrs Affectionately
E Hatfield
PS Please to give
my love to all
