| Teitl | Letter: Eyre Evans Crowe to William Pennel. His wife is shortly to give birth; the children have "perfectly recovered from the hooping-cough...after the eldest [Eyre] having been at death's door - But as he is well, I will spare you the list of leeches and recipes. The root of the deadly night-shade was the medicine which we found of most effect!" He invites the Pennels to visit them at Capelle; describes briefly the advantages of the house and garden. |
