| Description | Dear Sir,
I refer you to my letter of this date to Mr. Watt, as I have not time to give you a duplicate of that part that relates to B. & W.; but I write also to yourself to say that I think I have a housekeeper who would suit you as well as you can possibly expect to be suited after the loss of your niece; but when you come to town will be time enough for you to settle the matter yourself. She will be very content with your wages, and will engage to nurse you; this, I confess, I consider the primary consideration. She is a very decent well behaved woman, and can have an undeniable character. If you are not engaged, therefore, I shall give her hopes, and you shall see her and agree or not when you come to town.
I wrote to you last Friday, and have only to add best wishes for your health and happiness, remaining, dear sir, your most affectionate friend,
C. Matthews
