| Description | They came here for mother's health. Weston "is a small retired village about 21 miles from Bristol, within a furlong of the sea, or rather the Bristol Channel". It has no regular postal service, but countryside (Welsh coast and mountains) is delightful and she enjoyed a sail on a windy day. They will go to the Bristol Quarterly Meeting and on to Glastonbury and back via Eating [Ettington]. Before this she spent 3 weeks in Brighton with Hagger and his wife and recovered her health. Reference to her quill pen, to the books she is reading and that Grillet is detained in England "for want of a vessel". |
