Scope and content

Letter summary:
He regrets not honouring his arrangement to meet Joseph in York, ‘but my good fellow, you must excuse me when I say that I forgot; indeed I am extremely grieved’. Barry’s poor eyesight made him believe that he had seen an old friend. Barry had missed another opportunity to see Joe Irvin who was in Whitby a fortnight as his grandfather had died. Thomas Irvin had decided to remain at Whitby rather than take the Curacy of Salton and Sinnington, at a higher stipend, because of a certain lady.
