Scope and content
Glad to find that Joseph will be writing to his uncle and considers it ‘a good opportunity to writ about your sisters as he will think your comed of age to judge for them & for yourself.’ She hopes that the ‘ladie’ considered favourably by Joseph is a pious woman and suggests that he asks his uncle’s advice on this matter. Also asks him to write to his uncle concerning suitable situations in London for his sisters.
Asks whether the Trustees have looked into his affairs or consulted about his brothers.
His brothers learning dancing and she thinks that were their next schooling situation organised, they could also study music. Asks if Mr. Sandwith invted his sisters for the holidays. Mr. Pontey is somewhat better in health and would welcome their presence.
His cigars were not ordered – she would not want to assist in ‘conforming a bad habit in you’.
