Scope and content
Burgh Castle. - Wilkinson must think she has forgotten his promise to obtain Eliza Chasteney's autograph, but she has not; applied to Eliza's mother the day after Wilkinson's departure, she did not want to part with one of her daughter's letters, but 'to day sent me up the enclosed signature' [no longer present]. Thanks Wilkinson for his kind note and the 'autograph for [her sister] Anna', which she has forwarded'. It gave her family great pleasure to see him again, and she hopes he will visit again accompanied by Mrs Wilkinson. The sound of his voice and his 'merry laugh often brought back to my mind my dearest Mother who is gone from us'. Billy [her brother] joins with her in 'kind remembrances' to Wilkinson and his wife'.
