| Description | Sir,
I have long propos’d writing to you on the subject of poor Widow Stevenson, but professional avocations, civil as well as clerical, have delay’d it till this late period.
I have now to state—that the object of our solicitude, with her young family, bore the fatigues of their long journey without any inconvenience except temporary weakness, and that they are all now well. I deal out the weekly pittance allowed by Rochdale, and I hope the parish-officers there will in due time reimburse me for these advances. M. Stevenson is still at her father’s house, which is ill calculated for the addition of such a numerous party, but no suitable place of residence has yet been found elswhere. She will be glad to hear occasionally how her son John advances in his new employment, and adds her love to him and grateful respects to good Mr. Boulton and yourself. I am, sir, your oblig’d and faithful well-wisher,
Hy. Gs. Ds. Yate
Bromesberrow,
