Scope and content
On headed notepaper for Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland:- Thanks her for her letter and books, two of which he got this morning: has read 'some of the big one' and finds it 'more interesting than he ever expected'; the 'translation itself is not up to scratch' but the story is very good. Today it is raining heavily, but he wants to 'get a walk at all costs'. Went to Harwood yesterday afternoon.
Is getting on very well with his work, 'and also with [his] Sepoys'. They are now busy putting in the flowers in the beds at the front of the house. Keith and Thompson [gardeners?] came in yesterday to 'look at the books, and find out about several doubtful flowers'. Booa [Mary Prestwich] was 'very interested in them'. Is glad to hear that 'Keith's brother has passed', and that his mother likes Mr Belfield. Is sorry that Charlie has 'not got the poem [prize], but it was something to come second'. Booa is very busy, and 'working all day at the butter and baking etc'. Taylor 'does very well for a beginner in his profession', though he makes mistakes sometimes. Hopes his father is well.
