Bereik en inhoud
Recipe written out first, not in Cockell's hand; letter follows, addressed to Drummond at Bawtry. - 'You see I've not forgot my Promise, for above is the Receipt to Dress Turtle'. Contests the claim of the cook at the end of the letter that the recipe is 'said to be equally good (by West Indians) to their Turtle); believes she has never indeed ever seen a West Indian, rather, 'Mrs Frying Pan, has heard me say, that I almost liked it, as well as the Turtle I had eat at Barbadoes & other Islands'. Hopes Drummond has not forgotten his hat; asks for the man's address, so that a relative may go and pay him as soon as Cockell reecives it. Sends 'best Respects' to 'Mrs Drummond, & our little Plump Bottom'd Sand Lark'. Wouldn't have sent this on a Saturday had he not expected Drummond will remain at home a few days to 'look around'; otherwise 'I should have Peep'd into the Corn Mark[et?], or else taken a Squint at One O'Clock into the Farmer's Ordinary, where no doubt I should have found you after your Dinner, stuck betwixt two Jolly Dogs, one a Butler, the other a Grazier...'
