Item MFP/5/9/1 - Letter from John Hixon, Norton, to Joseph Munby at York

1 item

Letter summary:
John Hixon was one of Joseph Munby's father's trustees. He is sorry at Joseph’s dissatisfaction with his training in York, as are many clerks. Advice on reading, Blackstone, etc. and method of study. Hixon believes Touchstone, another ‘excellent’ book is beyond Joseph for the time being.
He has heard nothing of his behaviour towards Miss.Tate and thought it proper he should see and walk with his sisters provided he did not transgress the school rules. Lucy was best where she was and he would not consent to her removal.
Hixon regrets that he is the only married man among the trustees. If Joseph was not satisfied with his lodgings he should consult Saunders. Jane did not like the dull monotony of Norton.
