Letter from M Hilliard, Ivy Cottage, Maulden to Miss Moore.

19 May 1886

From: 1886 To: 1886

‘The reason I have not sent to you I heard a month ago you were coming home shortly, and when I saw Captain Robertson go last week I expected you at once, I would rather see you I could better explain, I was forced to have a little repairs done as I could not keep my pigs in, they got out and into other people’s garden and made a great bother, 2/6 I paid for that 1/- for window mending I have also taken the liberty to [?] the 2/6 you always give me thinking it would save you sending back and 2/6 you ought to have given me at Mich. You did not send by servant, I could never justly understand it and could not see you to ask altogether 8/6 and £11.0.8 I sent you before and now find enclosed £3.10.6 postal orders that is the £15 less postage. I am you truly M Hilliard. PS should like to know if you will wish me to move at Michaelmas next if so will you tell Burgoine he must come to terms with me for I assure you I will not look for another home until he has done so , I move to Barton just to oblige last year, and well I was rewarded he was not satisfied with taking the home from the widowed and fatherless but would have sent them pennyless to face the cold world, I think it nothing but fair he should pay for fixtures and trees my father did & I did, he will reap the benfit in one year’
