Letter Content
Isaac Evans to Edward Clarke, Griff, 20 December 1877
MS: Mrs. Michael Womersley.
Griff, Nuneaton | December 20th 1877.
Dear Edward
I have received your letter announcing your arrival at Brighton. 399 I heard from Emily that she had received a telegram saying you were at Liverpool.
In consequence of which I wrote to her to say it will be out of our power to receive you here. We wish you well but cannot renew your acquaintance. It would be painful for all to do so. I am glad you are doing well in America. Your sister has been very good and exemplary in her conduct, having worked hard to maintain a good position and has succeeded in doing so. All who know her respect her and admire her perseverance. I am sorry her health is very delicate and requires great care.
If you have anything to communicate to me, I shall be glad to hear from you by letter only. I remain,
Yours faithfully
Isaac P. Evans.
