Chobham Place. - Did not come to Thorne as his wife had only 'a Swiss girl (lately imported)' to help with all the children at home. Must now take charge of his mother's household as Sam has gone to sea and his father to Hull; Lucy has also been ill. Is it true that Milnes has engaged Mr [? Worgan]? Thornton's son John is leaving Dr Laing's school for the Charterhouse next month; has overcome doubts about morals at public schools as private ones are worse, but will watch the situation closely. His father may call at Thorne after completing business at Hull relating to new management of the Sugar House, and perhaps at Boston on lease abatements.
