Description:
From Bristol, to Sally Wesley in London, thanking God that she was not seriously hurt by her fall.
She supposes that Sally and Samuel will have arrived in London, by the time that this letter arrives. It must seem 'rather dull after the agreeable place you have been in'. Sally's father does not intend leaving Bristol for another two weeks, but she is sure that Sally and her brother will be very comfortable at the home of Uncle James and Aunt Elizabeth Waller.
Sally's brother Charles was rather ill last week after eating too much fruit and cream, but recovered after taking rhubarb. Sarah thinks that the beer that he was drinking was also 'a little sharp'.
She shall be very pleased to discover that Samuel's visit was of use to 'Wm(?) Russell's profession' [this may be a reference to the portrait of Samuel by John Russell]. Samuel should not be allowed to consort with the boys from the neighbourhood, and should be accompanied by either Sally or Prudence [Box], when he leaves the house. Furthermore he should have his dinner at the usual time, lest the irregularity and change of air make him ill.
Sally should inform Prudence that Sarah has her late mother's box and a small table. The sale of her mother's effects raised twenty-three shillings, eleven of which Sarah has paid for her. The bedstead was so infested by bugs that the dealer refused to take it. The Stockwells with whom Prudence's mother had lodged were very kind to her, and even allowed her to be interred in their plot. Her bible is with Mrs Stafford. Sally should prepare Prudence's account and ask Rebecca [Gwynne] or James Waller to pay her.
