| Description | Letter written from Wolverhampton. Regarding business matters. With Elizabeth Shaw to John Shaw. News of Thomas from John's sister. She took John and Betsey to market. The children have been to stay with John's brother, but the wind is too strong for her to venture out much. She reports on the garden vegetables; on her mother; on Richard, who does not seem too well. She is thankful that she and John prosper, but hopes it will not turn them from God. Mr Greenway wants to have Edward at Cannock and educate him. She fears Thomas is too delicate to go away to a boys' school. |
