Photocopied ms., not transcribed; no notes except the following. Reports Benjamin's sudden death of cholera in Leeds, soon after he apparently inherited Rockmacreeny. Is going to Leeds for the funeral and also, it appears, to see about the inheritance. John's wife appears to have recovered from her severe illness. John Asten's eldest daughter is a dressmaker in Brooklyn. Many religious reflections and admonitions.
