If finances allow, the Bishop will take Mr Couse's expenses on himself leaving the rent as it is without the proposed deduction. In any event, Couse will not need to be paid a fathing till Christmas. Weather in Forthampton - scarcely a day without showers. The house is now very comfortable and convenient following alterations. Writer is impatient to hear something of 'poor Miss Yorke'; also mention of the health of Lady Dover and her niece. Brief mention of children James and Mary.
