| Description | Dear Sir,
I wrote to you a few lines the 12th instant making enquiries after your health, to which you have not replied. Am I to take silence for good news? and when am I to see you here? Mr. Watt junior wou'd report to you how he liked the house, and I hope his report wou'd not dismay you; but at the same time you must come and judge for yourself. You shall sleep upon the first floor if you prefer it.
People here are alarm'd for the consequences of the limitation of bank discounts, and I fear many houses will fall in consequence.
I hope your son and daughter are well, and beg my kind love to them, remaining always, dear sir, most affectionately yours,
C. Matthews
