Scope and Content

To Martha Hall describing her poor health, which had prevented her from writing sooner.

She is pleased that the Halls had a pleasant journey to Salisbury, Wiltshire, but was sorry to hear of their poor health.

Miss Perkins has 'bilked her lodgings' and is rumoured to be living near Moorfields in London supported by her father Keen - 'Oh the scrupulous conscience of a quaker'.

Councillor Glanville has died. He had fortunately 'discarded all his harlotts at the first hearing the Methodists', and is therefore now in paradise.
