Letter from Mary Yorke to Lady Polwarth, sent from Ely. Writer has been accompanying the bishop for his whole visitation. Mention of Mr & Mrs [Charles] Lindsay in Wisbech. Writer was struck and shocked at the number of children mentioned on the tombstones in the churchyards at Wisbech.

4 Jun 1791

From: 1791 To: 1791

Sweet George [Waddington] is in perfect health and improving daily; [Dr] Warren says he may return with safety to Wimpole when perfectly stout. His opinion was a malignant fever, caused by some noxious quality in the air at the time. Mention that the Bishop of Durham [Thomas Thurlow] 'is at last released ...but I fear his family can have reaped but little advantage from his high situation.'
