1 item

Wallington. - Hears that Robert is home, so is writing to thank him and 'Mrs Robert' for her dress; has had their money for it from his mother; she wore it on Sunday 'for the first time since the 7th' [Robert and Elizabeth's wedding day], and it will always remind her of that day and the week she spent at the Hague. His mother says Robert and Elizabeth are 'both so very busy unpacking and getting straight'; wishes she could help. If she has bought too much linen than Elizabeth needs, asks Robert to say that she herself can use it hear or in London, and pay them for it. Wishes them 'God's richest blessing in [their] new life'. Adds a postscript to say it is the first real day of summer here, and Robert's parents and brother George have gone for 'their long contemplated trip to Wooller [sic: Wooler]'. Hopes Robert will visit soon.
