Letter addressed to William Stuart, post restante Florence, from his father, William Stuart,

22 Oct 1847; received Nov 1847

From: 1847 To: 1847

Pleased to hear that William plans to be home in March; his rooms in Hill Street will be completed and made comfortable before his arrival. Went to St. Albans to attend the trial of a man (only one of three being in custody) for dragging the fish pond at night. Had to leave before the end, so does not know the result. Jonathan and Mary Rashleigh are staying with the two grandchildren. Refers to daughter Henrietta not coming to stay at Aldenham for her confinement 'for various reasons.' Henrietta is not well due to overexerting herself, and is unhppy about a disagreement between her husband Reginald and the writer. Thw writer gives his account of the disagreement.
