Letter summary:
The letter is a reply to Joseph Munby's letter to her dated 4 Nov 1816. She has recently returned from a nine week visit to his aunt and uncle (at Liverpool) including a tour of N. Wales. Details of the N. Wales trip which Joseph could find on a map. New clothes to be made for him and he is to buy a new hat and pair of shoes. Much news of friends and family and the comment “when people in office begin by breaking the Sabbath, it gives an ill savour to all their actions ... the judgements of God are abroad in the land ... war has not humbled us ...” Corn and fruit were of poor quality and due to the continued rain the ground is too poor for sowing for next year. Incomplete.
