Liverpool July 25^th 1805
Dear Sister
I am very much obliged
to you for your letter, and the frock
you sent me. I was extremely glad to
hear that my Grandmother was got
down. We have been twice at the Blind
Assylum since I came to Liverpool.
I am very glad to hear that you had
got all the hay in before the rain began
I do not think that we have pro=
=fited much by James Boardman’s advice
as we have been as late in descending the stairs
[new page]
every morning since. He makes no allowance
for me, though I slept in a dark room and
could not see whether it was time to wake or
to go to sleep.
What account was it that
James gave that made you think I did not
Think about coming home. M^rs & Miss San=
=derson desire their respects to my Grandmother,
and Miss Sanderson is much obliged to her
for her letter which she will answer in person.
M^r Holmes intends going into Yorkshire
next week. I shall take this letter to My
Father this afternoon. I am writing it al
My Uncles where I came to get a pencil
[new page]
to write the lines with as M^rs Holmes
had not one.
We went on Saturday Afternoon
to see some Ships come in we saw a good
many come in but we were very much wet.
My Uncle Nicholson is busy with
Workmen who are setting a round oven
In the kitchen in the place of the
Square one. M^rs Holmes went to the play
on Friday night to see Fawcett perform
the character of Falstaff in King Henry
the 4^th.
Give my love to all at home. I am [deleted]
your affectionate Sister Elizabeth.
