John Hungerford Arkwright (EN912) sent his father John Arkwright (EN806dspouse1) this letter as a young man in 1848. The transcription:
April 11, 1848
Fordington 11th
My dear Father,
I have arrived safely at Fordington by the express train and found them all gone out a long walk. I got the watch from Deloluie’s, and have given it to Mr. Moule. I shall most likely start from here on Thursday but you must not be alarmed if I do not see you till Saturday, if there is any sign of a holiday going on here on Friday. They are all well here and George has quite recovered from his bilious attack. With best love to all. I remain your affectionate son.
John H. Arkwright
