Letter to Hester Wade-Gery from Catherine Welby, daughter of Sir William Earle Welby (died 1815)

13 September 1829

From: 1829 To: 1829

London. Congratulations on late marriage at Bushmead, pres. son William [Hugh Wade-]Gery. I was glad to hear he brought his lady to you, in such proper stile, it was just as it ought to be, I am so old fashioned a person as to like to see the dignity of an antient family kept up. How is Mrs. Dowson. Am still but a bird of passage. Till the middle of next month still 3 Park Rd. Regents Park, London but then perhaps am taking a house at Welwyn, only 25 miles from my brothers in London, and also Richard when up from Torquay. If I get the house, will need a stout young woman of all work. Details of what is required and training. Wages. (This is not deposited at the Record Office - for information only.)
