| Description | Expected that her answer to his letter of May 12 would have reached him by William Owen before the date of writing. Surely he [Owen] does not insist upon or expect an invitation. Told his mother long ago that he would make no stranger of him, but that if he came there was no diversion but books. But now a box has arrived directed to him with a suit of clothes in it, by which the writer supposes he is about steering his course towards Hereford. Has no news. It is a very dry time and great scarcity of hay and oats. Is taking horses for Ludlow where perhaps he shall see Mr Owen of Porkington |
