Stoke on Trent 3rd November 1846
My Dear Sir,
On arriving here last night, I found your letter of the 30th ultimo, with the Bank Post Bill for £20 all safe.
We had a meeting last night at Penkhull. By Mr. Wright's letter I see the impossibility of having a meeting at Shelton on Friday the 13th. I think the Rev. Mr. Jones from Alton would attend their meeting when they can hold one. Wednesday, that is tomorrow, must be blank also.
You never told me of the marriage at the Cape, of course you have notice of it from the surest quarter. If not inconvenient I should like to know something about it. I learned it here last night, and as in the Record of the 29th.
Believe me, Truly Yours,
James Thomson.
