Letter from Hannah More (1745-1833)
Transcribed by Jessy Randall, May 2018
The Revd. Dr. Whalley [Thomas Sedgwick Whalley (1746-1828)]
Mendip Lodge
My dear Sir
Knowing the warmth of your kindness we feared that indisposition had robbed us of the great gratification of seeing you.
I am afraid you suffered by using your inflamed eye in writing your kind note.
We have indeed a house of infirmity. Poor Bitty has had a second stroke. She is better but in a melancholy state.
In addition to my other agremens I am laboring under a severe cold. Patty is poorly, but no sickness or sorrow will ever prevent our being, my dear Sir
with true regard your very faithful and obliged
H More &c &c
