Scope and content

Fryston, written to Robert Milnes at Thorne.- Has not said anything to his mother as yet, and will not until he hears again from Robert. 'There is nothing my Mother dislikes so much as making a bargain & I think it can be done without, I shall write very plainly what I feel, therefore do not be offended & have a wrong construction on any expression I may use'. Acknowledges that he himself is certainly 'an immense gainer by the Pomfret elections'. Discussion of finances and property, especially Robert's allowance, mentioning 'the wood money from the Gaskells'. Rodes assures Robert that 'it was always my Mother's wish to act liberally to you. I shall ever lament, as by the worst result arising from these proceedings is the withdrawing yourself from my Mother & all the family as you have done for the last 3 or 4 months'.
