No envelope - parcel? After Easter 1870
Laxfield
Thursday evening
Dear George,
Herewith your Mama have sent your shirts and wht (white?) vests
also a pair of trousers you can wear which you like for best. These
cost the most of 5/9 pr. yd. from Aldreds, take care of the pieces they
will do for repairing. Cannot you get your wash woman or some one
to repair the others before they get very bad. The young folks have
all been very sadly for several days colds and coughs and various
other small complaints but think they are now convalescent. I have
had the rheumatics ever since Monday morning scarcely able to get
about and for two nights did not get an hours sleep the pain was so
great. I fear it was a damp bed I slept in when in London for I have
felt the same pains ever since little or much and had a bad cold
directly after. I suppose you see W.C. sometimes also your Aunt
Maria. Your Mama has been talking of writing to her for some time
but always seems busy more particular just at this season, as you
know the fleas always receive notice to quit in the spring of the year.
We were at Mettingham Good Friday. Uncle Harry is still at home
in quest of a crib were there is but little to do good pay and good
keep, can you help him to one of the sorts. I have not written to the
Governors yet but should think it is of no consequence. I take it for
granted if you did not suit they would have written to me. Write
whenever an opportunity offers as we are always pleased to have a
line from you. All join with me in very best love.
I remain
Your affectionate father

Should think you will be a don cricketer when you come home again.
