1 item

Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Robert's letter [final version 46/75] was all he could wish; wishes him great joy in his marriage, Miss van der Hoeven has written 'very sweetly' to Caroline and they are eager to meet and welcome her to the family. Acknowledges the business point which Mr Hubrecht raises, and has resolved it in his letter by agreeing to covenant to pay Robert eight hundred pounds a year 'unless and until' he comes into a capital which will bring him that income; has asked Hubrecht to tell him Miss van der Hoeven's financial position, but whatever this is, 'the marriage is a settled thing'.
