Letter to Hester Wade-Gery from Penelope Welby of Denton, daughter of Sir William Earle Welby, who married Thomas Augustus Northmore and died 1792 (cousin).

28 February 1791

From: 1791 To: 1791

Upper Seymour St. [Miss Gery, at the Revd. Charles Gery's, Grantham] Your box of colours, which owing to the distance Reeves lives from us, I was not able to procure till the latter end of last week. I chose the colours I thought would be most useful to you, but no brushes for the half guinea. Your little friend Mr. Day is come, bringing a fine Turkey from Allington. Mrs Key has left Grantham. Dined with my aunt Monoux. Sarah Colmeley is come to town and is as loud as ever. Death of Mrs. Richard Cust. Poor Mrs. De Butts has at last quitted Grantham. Latest fashion a very very small bonnet that you can with difficulty just get the brim upon your forehead, so as not to hide the smallest particle of your face. Mrs and Miss Spry made Enquiries after you. Respects to your good uncle and aunt and Mrs. Preston. Adieu my dearest Fatty. (This is not deposited at the Record Office - for information only.)
