| Disgrifiad | Good wishes to all, particularly "little Nursling Samuel" and niece Sarah Savage who is now a "Boader" with her cousins at Highfield; references to the recipient's postponed law-suit; can wait for their share of colliery dues until the end of March; influenza epidemic at Geneva and Lausanne; their intention to move to the environs of Lausanne at midsummer; message for brother Samuel; the part played by the Catholic clergy in stirring the people against the federal government in the "late war"; the introduction of income-tax; has been translating hymns into French and German; hopes young Wynne (now 11 years old) will be put into a good school which has "self-exertion" rather than "rewards and punishments", as its aim. A post-script in Elizabeth's hand re-iterates good wishes. |
