| Description | Dear Sir,
I am afraid you will think Mr. Brown long in returning to you, but I hope it is not my business that delays him, for as he has made up Globe Yard books, I presume he has done all that he was required on our parts, and I have not seen him since Friday last.
By this conveyance I have sent Messrs. B. & W. a haunch of venison; as I had but one and cou'd not divide, I hoped you neither wou'd be offended, at the partnership account.
I beg my kind love to your son and daughter and Miss Mynd, and remain (wishing you all health and happiness), dear sir, yours affectionately,
C. Matthews
I am afraid it is a day after the fair, for, if I recollect, tomorrow is your son's birthday, but I only received it to day.
