            <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;[159] Darling. I have rec [received] your dear loving notes &amp;amp; thank you from my heart. you are so sweet &amp;amp; thoughtful &amp;amp; good. I am so pleased that you are enjoying England in spite of the bad weather. which has indeed been pitiable for you &amp;amp; every one. Heaven knows when it will stop raining. here. it is one perpetual &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;drizzle alternated with the most awful wind &amp;amp; rain. I am almost &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;discouraged. though to be seen [?] I have so very much to do in the house that I have little time for being troubled with the rain &amp;amp; could &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[159 reverse] &lt;/span&gt;see as it makes me more &amp;amp; more dread my passage. I sent in town Yesterday to learn when the Fields will be here &amp;amp; find they are arrived so we are off in to town (six miles) to see them. I have secured rooms for you at Mrs Blodgets [sic] Duke St so you will drive there when you arrive. It is an American boarding house &amp;amp; the cab man will know it very well. I sent in town to make sure of them. but to day I will see about them. Ned will be down on Saturday night. I will come to you tomorrow as [inserted] soon as I can. You say you will leave&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;[160] Manchester at &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;10&lt;/span&gt;. unless you find some special attraction. You must &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;send for your fathers [sic] friend as soon as you arrive &amp;amp; he will see that you see all that is to be seen in Manchester. a cotton spinning factory is the great sight of Manchester &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;amp; Houldsworths [sic]. Embroidery factory very well worth seeing. &lt;br /&gt;I send this to the +++ so you may be seen to get something from me. &amp;amp; as you told me in Your note the other day that You should send to the post I shall just send one line there only to say "there is a note&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;[160 reverse] for you at the +++". so if you g&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;et [?] this first. more +++ going for the other. because there will be &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;nothing in it. I am to [sic] hurried &amp;amp; surrounded by talkers to say mo [more] &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;than this - that I love you &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;dearly&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;dearly&lt;/span&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;tenderly&lt;/span&gt; - you my sweet you shall wander over England with me. you shall see all these places in their beauty with me. if you will but I must go to California &amp;amp; get some more money first. I am glad you met some acquaintances. &amp;amp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;would enliven [?] the weariness of the weather to Miss Whitwell &amp;amp; Mary &amp;amp; now God bless my darling. Ever &amp;amp; love am I her fondly loving devoted Ladie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>
