Tregardon near Mevagissey, Cornwall
June 24 1825
My very dear Brother
Your goodness must pardon my not writing
before, but my best excuse is I am not fond of this exercise
but I hope you received a letter which Mr L wrote to you he
mentions expecting the books & the Bible & Prayer Book cost 18/6d
the Cookery Book you wished for was but a very small {indecipherable] &
of a very inferior kind so that we thought it not worth sending
and should have procured another had I not been all most {indecipherable]
time and {indecipherable] had one; has to the remaining money that
{indecipherable] might go til he could procure the whole of the {indecipherable]
{indecipherable], the {indecipherable] I was to send did not
slip my mem
-ory but what money we had was in bills which was
not payable for some time and another thing we landed in
a very cold climate with very little clothing and that very
light and therefore not fit to be {indecipherable] or warm, thus you see we
were in want of almost every thing. Fatherinlaw had put
{indecipherable] in the Bank for pocket money for us, but unfortunately
we {indecipherable] bank broke and we lost all better this misfortune
and many others
