ABSTRACT
Caxtons (Pallidge – or, “as you like it”)1 | Worth | by Crawley | Sussex. My dear Twins I only recd (i.e. 6.30 this morning with the postman’s wump-wump) your letter and the packet of boards.2 Lord – how seriously you take me, with preparation for the fray – of wh’ I am afraid. However, we shall see. Heard this morning that my eldest sister (married – 6 old children) at Brighton, is lying on what looks like her last bed, with bronchitis. A good woman, if ever there was one – aged I think abt 76.3 If the doctor thinks fi t, and she wishes to see me I shall go to town. If so, I will surely look in on you, if only for a few minutes.
