I hope you will see her as well as us, when you come to Petersfield for it will be a matter of no great difficulty for you to get here to see us in our nice new nest. We are truly pleased to hear that both you and your husband are in better health than formerly.

Catharine desires to unite with me in much true love...”, 3 sides 8vo., Haslar Hospital, 20th August no year but after
