| Description | My dear Nanny
My Horse is sadled in order to go to meet Mr Parrott at the Pits, & then to go to Birmgm. to night, but Mr Vere is so unhappy about my departure, as all his affairs at this Place are in great Confusion, that he hath prevaild upon me to stay untill they are quite finished & then they will be deliverd up to the care of Mr Wedge who is to manage them hereafter. I therefore think it will be Saturday or Sunday before I can return. I am sensible of the inconvenience my own business sustains but gratitude requires it. one good turn deserves another I shall write to the Children from this place & tell ’em they may expect to see us soon Mr & Mrs Matthews set out on Sunday last on Horsback & got here on Monday before dinner. I did not leave work last night untill past Eleven oClock & then I eat a large Plate of Mushrooms for my Supper which made me ill most of the night & I yet remain sick but hope it will go off in the course of the day
Wishing you health & every other good
I remain
Dear Nanny
Your very affectionate Husband
