| Description | This is the fourth letter since he received any from his mother. Has not merited her charge of neglect for he has for some time past constantly written a letter once in 9 days to her, and likewise to the chancellor. Since most of his chiding letters are upon Richard's account he really wishes he [Richard] had stayed where he was at Ross; but he is very well in health at present.
Dorse Mrs Owen's reply - Has recieved his letters of August 29th and October 1st. Did not send Dicky up to be a hinderence to him, nor did he think it any great trouble for him [Edward] to do what lay in his power to serve a young brother so far from his friends |
