Portée et contenu

Notes that Miss Tate who will be leaving the school recommends Mrs Roddam, assisted by her daughter, as successor.
‘the school will ... continue the same masters with the addition of having a French Teacher in the house which will greatly assist the young ladies inn speaking the French Language’. Hopes that Mr. Pearson and Mr. Saunders would have no objection to his sisters continuing at the Manor, despite the change of management.

Concerned about Lucy’s cough and attention to her teeth. Warns about the dangers in using guns and moves [almost ironically] to advice on love affairs. ‘I wish the Ladies would let you alone they will be making you vain and foppish ... ‘ In spite of opposition he should not lose sight of one young lady he had noted. ‘Wait the will of providence and pay no particular attention to any other’.
She opposes living in Heworth since it is so far from the Church and Market, but prefers Lord Mayor’s Walk or possibly Jellygate [Gilligate?]. Those in the better part of York would be too highly priced. Dewhirst the printer in Leeds neglected to complete Mr. Pontey’s book.
