Hannah Rowntree, Castlegate, to her brother Joseph Rowntree, Cannon Street, London

Has been suffering with her tooth, but it is all over now; had a letter from Julie 'as thou seemed to have worked upon her sympathies so much that she could refrain from writing to console me'; is it the elections in London today? the city must be in a state of great commotion; election in York; J. Coning's speech, that must have been an interesting lecture; [The Odyssey] and whether there is room for a new translation; such a rage in the school for this kind of paper, only in pink, so nice to write on; Emma Woodward is coming to York; Mamma went to the examination; wedding visit of the Robinsons.
