Content and structure area

Scope and content

Intends to go to Derby for money for William and will try to get £35. Grudges unnecessary expense - e.g. Ambleside Regatta and its unedifying society(!). Not much objection to William’s coming home: 'yet you leave us with rather short commons'. Uncle Jonathan (Gray) will not be at York unless returned from Continent. If you go there, show more respect to your grandfather than you and your brother did when he visited Ockbrook. At Leeds you will find 'Muggington' Sam (Hey of Lawley) returned with the Welsh party. Description of Welsh tour. Uncle Edmund (Gray) has visited Lakes. Glad you have been up Saddleback. Entomology. Report of Robert (at school at Blackheath). Say nothing about George Fox.
