Scope and content
Back at Ockbrook: parcel of letters by hand of Rev. John Jarratt, William's cousin because of 'the heavy Postage of Letters incurred by the distance to which you are now removed': this is Aunt Rebecca's first extant letter to Sherborne. Social news includes visit by Rev. Mr. Hensman and family of Clifton, Bristol en route home from the Lakes and the York Musical Festival (initiated by William's uncle, Jonathan Gray). Samuel Jarratt has changed his views about the medical profession and is turning his attention to the Church. He has been recommended to go to warmer parts (Torquay) for the winter to overcome ill-health. The significance of Gainsborough is that William's brothers Samuel and Robert were at school there. Other news of family and friends.
