My dear Mary Ann
M^rs Holmes has favoured me with paper &
a bad pen to write to you to say I left all well
at home this morning & that M^rs Holmes had a
letter from your Cousin Hannah this morning
that left all well at the mill & Isle & mentions
that Tom Hatfield went to Rotherham on Satur=
=day to be present at the Gala given at Wentworth
House on Lord Milton coming of age who is Lord
Fitzwilliams only child.
I write more particularly to say I sent
you a box on Thursday {^30 Apl} last by Gibson & co the
Carriers to Warrington Cont^g 8lbs Figs 4lbs Raisins
& a few Crackers – & to day I sent a paper
parcel by the same Carriers, Containing the Artic=
=les you sent for, {?Viz} Silk Parasol &c &c &c &c
both were directed to you at Miss Mangnalls
& shoud be delivered to you the days after they
were sent, & if not had better be enquired after
[new page]
The Partizans of General Tarleton have been so outra=
=geous that one or two persons have been killed the
Mob have been instigated by men of rank that
Have passed the magisterial Chair & the most
vile false & inflammatory papers are disper=
=sed & threats of destruction menaced again
M^r Roscoe, Hathstone, & Mr Roscoes friends, that
M^r Roscoe like a good man as he is has
declined being longer a Candidate, at the proba=
=ble destruction of any human creature or the
peace of the Town being so greatly disturbed –
No Zealot Tarleton; he has, a senseless Pate
Pretends theres danger, & cries Church & State;
Relibion weeps; Barbarian Cease! She cries
Religion suffers! ‘tis myself that dies!
Farwell The Holmes & my B^r is well
Your Aff^e Father
