Containers:
Folder 16
Scope and content:

Mr. Rogers has been sent for to go to his sister whom he scarcely expects to find alive. He will give you a minute account of the baby who without vanity is a sweet looking baby. Letter from Sam saying he would take a meal with us en passant. It was written the minute the claim passed. I fear you trouble yourself about making things for the baby. I have Mr. Rogers' things to pack. Have had no spirit. Languid. Have not strength to nurse the baby in warm weather. Will take calomel when I have weaned her. Give my love to Louisa and thank her for the little necklace would like to see her. Mrs. Murray is better.
