Gateacre 14^th Aug^t 1807
My dear Sister
I rejoice with you on the
shortness of your ride. Perhaps ‘ere now
you may have had a call from our
Travis Mill friends, [deleted] they have postpone=
=ed their visit to Lpool till the end of
this week – I hope you have had no {^return}
of your agues &c since you left.
We have not yet got a servant we ex=
=pect one to morrow Miss Foster is gone
to Liverpool, to the Play to night.
James sends his dear love, but is almost
asleep (between 9 & 10 O’Clock)
[new page]
15 Aug^t I am going to finish this
for Ja^s to take to Lpool, he is going
to day Miss Lawrence called just
now, My Father asked for A Fletcher
& Miss Frances to tea this afternoon
but it is against the rules – We {^have} called
on our new neighbours M^r & M^rs Simp=
=son – I have not written yet to
Miss Johnson but I shall soon.
We all according to custom desire
our love & good wishes
I shall expect to hear when
the productions of your pen
are exhibited & what [illeg]
are passed upon them
[new page]
I have {^found} the other piece of muslin,
Have you any new Scholars yet
I have some bad news to tell,
M^r Lees has failed, I believe to
the am^t of one hundred thousand
Goodbye your aff^te Sisiter
