Dorothy Wright to Catherine Elliott, 24 [undated] 1746

She is sorry to hear that Catherine's breast is tender, she recommends that she is careful not to catch cold, her sister and the child are both pretty well but the child will have to go out to nurse as it will be inconvenient to have it at home, perhaps Robert Gasking's wife would do it as she has several fine children and may still have milk, please would Catherine make enquires with her, she can't leave her sister until a nurse has been arranged as she cannot do without help, her sister christened the baby yesterday, they called it Ann so now she has two grandchildren called Ann
