Dorothy Wright to Catherine Elliott, 11 August 1743
She is glad that Catherine is well but wishes she would write more often because she is very dull at the moment, her thoughts never stray far from her children, she wishes Catherine had not settled so far away, she has sent her gown and rolling pin and hope they will be satifactory, ask Catherine to let her know if her sister requires any money
