22 Jany. 1833 Dear Childs

In the matter of Burns I will endeavor to be punctual on Friday at five--sad work!

On C'mas day we ate the Turkey, the receipt whereof I hereby duly acknowledge--and we fired at the moment when you were volleying at Bungay, any thing on the clock to the contrary of the precise time, notwithstanding.

I am dear Childs Yours sincerely W Hone
