Sarah Rowntree, York, to her son Joseph Rowntree, Cannon St, London

John will have told him of his safe return hope, very pleasant to hear of Joseph and his interests; Aunt Jane and cousins well; John and Ann were well too, and their three boys very thriving, the oldest is a vigorous intelligent fellow; Scarborough looks very flourishing, building going on in various directions and the bridge walks and plantations extending along and up the cliff; C Hipsley and others visited, his views for the stereoscope were thought very good, the two pigeons stand out with wonderful distinctness. Ackworth Committee next week, she intends to go with the Backhouses and T. Allis; invite from Emily Cassen to visit before Yearly Meeting; hopes to visit Sydenham with Joseph, 'I thought it would give us a little time together'.
