| Description | Estate business. Cousin Robert Owen and cousin William Bold are well. The writer saw them both this day at the school; he read them the best lecture he could. They have no liberty at all to go abroad without a commission from their uncle, Mr. Williams. They are at the same school as his son and are kept close to it, so without doubt they will improve in their learning. They are all three boarded there and have no liberty to come abroad but on Sundays in the afternoon after prayers to their uncle's chamber. As for the book Owen desires, the writer will buy it. Mr. Attorney has moved that Mr. (William) Williams shall plead, but the hearing is not appointed before the first day of the term. Has just received Owen's letter of the 9th instant, which brought him the unwelcomed news of the death of Mr. William Arthur. Discusses the details of the latter's will. |
