APPENDIX. 389 



morn^ walk thro one of the woods in the park, in 

 rambling" thro which, all quiet still, & alone, I 

 found a young Fawn which had been hindden by 

 its Dam it was coild up & squatted close down 

 among the Grass underneath a shelter of Haw- 

 thorn bushes it looked exceedingly pretty, and 

 eyed me with a very timid look & I dare say was 

 very glad when I left it alone. If Mr. Steele call 

 to pay you 6 175 6d say "Reed, of Mr. Wm. 

 Davison by the paymt. of Mr. Steele" &c & if this 

 part of Mr. Davison's balance is this far settled, 

 let me know when you write to me When I left 

 my dear Jane & Bell, one of my kindness Fits 

 came upon me & I thout they both looked very 

 thin and I have been thinking, if their mother 

 approves of it, that they during my abseence, 

 ought to be each indulged with a jill of Beer and 

 piece of Bread to it every night before they go to 

 Bed As I suppose, from your being kept busy, 

 my Jane will ans r this, desire her after she has 

 told me how you all are to tell me also of every 

 thing worth notice that may have happened since 

 I left home with best and anxious good wishes 

 to all there 



I am 

 my dear Robert 



your loving Father
