Dear Sir,
I am unwilling to let pass the opportunity which this space gives
me of saying how much I admire, and thank you for, your Sonn[ets to] the memory
of my dear Father,
You can never know how much he regretted not seeing you at Shefford. he had set his heart upon that
pleasure, and attributed his disappointment to Mr Inskips meeting you in London,
and giving you such an account of his health &c as made you think a
visit then would be ill-timed,—in short he was displeased with him for
monopolising you.
I am very glad to hear of a new volume from you, and with best
wishes for your health and the welfare of your family. I am dear sir
very respectfully Yours
Hannah Bloomfield
