July 25, 1850
Dear John,
You must excuse me for not writing to you sooner for we
could not think of writing until we would receive the parcel, for we did not
receive it until last Tuesday evening, for we had got Mr. Gleave to write to
Liverpool about them and they sent an answer that they were not there, and it
set us all very uneasy about them all the time until last Saturday was a week,
Mr. Gleave received a letter from the man as brought them that he had such a
parcel belonging to him and he did not know where to take them to and Mr.
Gleave sent a letter to him to Liverpool for to take them to the office and
then we received them as above, and very grand they are to, and there is
somebody here all together wanting to see them and your sister Mary Ellen was
in Holywell yesterday with the small parcel and took the others with her, and
she turned into your cousin Jones’s shop with them and very glad they were for
to see them, and that they were the hansomest as they ever saw, and he is
drawing a great many himself now and he was telling your father that he should wish very much if he could
purchase some __ like these, that he cannot in England nowhere, and we are very
anxious to know, and you must be so kind as to let us know in your next letter
whether the two is to be in our house or not.
I shall send you a very nice present the next time for I had
no time this time.
Mary Ellen Benjamin
Please to give my best respects to Thomas Price. Here is a kiss for you both from Wales and
more.
