91 Islington, Liverpool
Dec. 11, 1875
Dear Nephew Robert,
I was very pleased with your kind letter. I also received the guide and newspaper all
safe for which I am truly grateful. I
find by your epistle that you take a large amount of interest in agriculture
and it must be a great satisfaction to your dear parents. And your dear Aunt and myself are very glad
to know the ____________________.
I suppose , dear Robert, it is the theory with you as yet
and the practice with your brother Frank, but all can help them. Is nothing like trying to make yourself
useful and I am glad and proud you write such a sensible letter. I see by the paper you so kindly sent me that
the population of your beautiful state is just only what ours is in this town
of Liverpool. You will see in the paper
that I send to your dear Ma & Pa, you will see there how Liverpool has
improved in no short a time. It is
growing now faster than even I remember this town with just half the number of
people in it. But at present it is the
envy of the whole world. I hope you
will try to be firm and stand by your dear parents for you must think of the
time they have ___ for you (not that I think you are undutiful but that you
should try and remain so).
Dear Robert, our time is getting short here in this the old,
the grand England of ours. Not that we
in Liverpool dislike America, only it does seem like we are leaving our
home. Your dear father & mother will
have told you a great deal about England and you will learn more than I can
write to you at your schools. Your cousin
Marion is saying to your Aunt something about her American courses all day,
cannot stop talking for she is trying to think of your names, etc.
Dear Robert, I am very tired. I am all alone, must go to rest. I got a very long letter from Pa today, also
Ma. I am going to send you each some
tie or some small present before the new year in newspapers. So with kind love to brothers & sister,
your family, same from your Aunt Marion, boy and myself with the compliments of
the season. I am your Uncle,
Richard
