Letter to Ann Milnes, later Ann Wade-Gery, from Hester Wade-Gery, aunt, and later mother-in-law

21 January 1833

From: 1833 To: 1833

Brighton. Have received letter with the draft for £30. We leave this place on Tuesday 29th of this month, and shall hope to be at home on Wednesday. I think our horses might as well meet us at Eaton. Hester has written to Nurse Camption to be at Bushmead, but I fear she will be engaged till the 5th February in which case we must manage as well as we can, until then, but the child is so very small and delicate it must have a very clever person to nurse it. Will you have the Blue and Yellow rooms got ready, and the press bed put into the Blue room for the nurse in Hesters room, and the yellow room for Mary Hannah and me. I wish cook to make us a seed cake. I think William was right to have a stove in the common parlour. I hope it will keep the instrument [probably a piano] and the coffee from spoiling. Gloves to Clapham for the Dawsons. (This is not deposited at the Record Office - for information only.)
