Letter from Letitia Corly to Elizabeth Bentham, 12th September 1815

Mr Dearest Elizabeth

I thank you most heartily for the remedy you sent with your servant. My mother’s trouble is now much relieved thanks to your kindness.

Is not the servant you sent sister to the boy Peter Hackworthy who has been much spoken of of late? She did not have the appearance of one whose brother is hailed as a genius but then appearances often deceive.

I hear Joan Shiner is to be at the Assembly Hall in Tradmouth at the end of this month. I trust you will be there for I am eager to see her for myself. Tell me, can she cast spells? For I am in sore need of some sorcery that would encourage Captain Ross’s attentions. At the ball he danced much but only twice with me.

I pray you, write soon and it may be that we shall meet in Tradmouth on the night of Mrs Shiner’s performance.

Your affectionate friend, Letitia Corly
