The Reverend John King Martyn to the Reverend William Mudge, his son-in-law from Pertenhall to Bonby

29 Dec 1832

From: 1832 To: 1832

Children's meeting on Christmas Eve... the Marks had beautifully adorned the chapel with greens. It puts me in mind of the feast of tabernacles. There are hopeful signs in our John. We are yet at sea about any employment for John - some negotiations are going on at Bristol, but whether they will come to anything I cannot tell. I fear you will get nothing from the Parsonage. He has had Mr Claud Martyn, a youth from Ludgershall, who reads Homer with him, and they go out shooting together. He is going to Ludgershall next Wednesday having engaged Mr Huntly to take 2 Sundays - one service each ! Oh Poor Pertenhall. Evident drying up of the Euphrates. The Lauten send their kind regards. They have been helping us to eat a goose.
