1 item

Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland [struck through], Morpeth. - Very sorry for Robert and Elizabeth's 'great sorrow and disappointment' [the death of their new-born daughter Susan], the family's 'first misfortune of that sort' and very sad; realised the threat when Robert told them the doctor was 'very anxious'. Only consolation that it has shown the family 'how much [they] all care for each other, and how closely [they] are bound together'. Thinks George coming to them, and Caroline doing so on Monday, are quite right. Paul is here and 'infinitely sweet, and so well and happy'.
