Pièce MFP/5/5/2 - Letter from John Pearson, London, to his sister Miss Jane Pearson at St Helen's Square, York

1 item

Letter summary:
John is apologising for not writing for some time, especially as he had received some cheeses, and had not acknowledged them. He comments on the fact that Jane’s mother is ill and would like her to tell him more about her complaint. He suggests a visit to London might do her some good.
He refers to his brother Thomas, but doesn’t seem to think to highly of him and his chosen profession (is this teaching? See 54.198).
He writes of a harsh winter, that he has been troubled with cold and of a brief heart problem. Mentions that his wife was delivered of a daughter and has given her the name Frances.
