My dear Mary Ann
As it will perhaps be
some time before you will hear
from me again, I thought I wou’d
write you a letter, though at
present I know not who to send
it by; the principal object of
it is to inform you that I am
[new page]
going into Worcestershire with
Miss Roberts and her Sister Hannah
who are going to pay a visit
to their friends there, and intend
setting off on Wednesday night in
the Mail Coach. I am sorry I
shall not have time to write
to Bessey, I hope she has had a
pleasant visit in Liverpool, I
suppose you have heard Mr Griffith
[new page]
is likely to take up his residence
in Ireland, we shall be sorry to
lose him as hewas is the best near
neighbour we have. I am
glad to hear my Aunt still con=
=tinues better; please to give my
love to her. I have not
time to write any more, so
Farewell, And believe me yr Affectnte
Cousin E hatfield
PS please to excuse my [deleted] {^ill} writing
as both pens and paper are bad
