Dear Bror Sutcliff

         I hope you recd a parcel on Saturday or Lds day Via North-ton, inclosing a parcel for Dr Ryland when you have looked it over. I now send you anor to add to it, viz. Wards Journal. I recd it on Lords day noon – Read it through after meeting – was taken about an hour after with a strong attack of the bilious cholic – which I cd not recover under 5 or 6 hours. Yesterday I extracted in short-hand such parts as I tho’t shd be printed in No X, & sent it this morng to Clipstone – I therefore now send the Original to you, & by you to Dr Ryland – He will return them, & the other papers as soon as convenient. We are better in general – Mrs F. is nearly well – The infant is much better – Mr J. Satchell has had a removal of the complaint I mentioned before – Yrs affect

A. F.

PS  If the Letter to Ward be too late for the box, as I suppose it may, yet it might go by the Ship – Shall be obliged to you to pay the postage to London send it to Burls, that he may put it into the box, or give it to the same Ship.

Mr Sutcliff

N.B. Mrs Fuller has recd a Letter fm Mrs Fountain, who was to be Mrs Ward in a few weeks, and to be married by Mr Carey.
