Scope and Content
No place-name [probably Draughton Lodge]. ...Yours to hand this morning. I think we may safely say that my dear wife is a little better. I think both yesterday and today the change though slight is an improvement on Friday and Saturday. The baby grows nicely and I most sincerely hope its little life may be spared to us. It will be a treasure indeed. I am delighted; words cannot tell how I feel respecting Pollie. Oh so thankful About your own pursuits, I am not surprised about John Wiggins; what has the girl been doing, or did you mean the nursery governess? Well in all things cast your care on Him who in the past has helped you to bear heavier trials. And in the meanwhile remember us with tenderest affection, feeling that it is reciprocated and with our united fondest love to all from us unitedly I am Your affectionate brother....
