Scope and content
Thornes House. - They have found a large slab of marble which would do well as a washing stand; the frame of the one at Frystone in the room which was occupied by Mrs Marshall would do well, and 'our Wakefield Mr Gillow' would be happy to walk over if Milnes or his wife could give him credit with the housekeeper to inspect it.
Is also concerned by the 'report circulating about here that [Milnes] has won so large a sum of money from Arthur Heywood as to oblige him to part with Stanley [Hall]; she has 'denied' this 'on the grounds of your general character & habits'. Asks him not to answer her if there is any truth in the rumour 'that I may plead ignorance'; but if it is 'altogether a piece of infamous scandal, it would be a comfort to me to deny it upon authority'.
