Copy of letter from Elizabeth Harrison to her daughter, enclosing a statement of David Gould, flax dresser of Worksop

Mar 1780

From: 1780 To: 1780

Elizabeth Harrison states that she prays for 'your worthy mistress to overcome all her adversaries'. Statement of David Gould relates to what he had been told by William Rogers, the late Mr Mellish's gardener. William Clarke had offered to pay Rogers to witness that Mrs Taylor and Mr Mellish were lawfully married, but Rogers refused, as he was sure no marriage had occurred. 'I wish Miss Rankin with truth may be able to stop the proceeding of sush a vile man as Clarke'
