TitleLetter from James Backhouse in York to Jeffrey Bevington Lowe
Date28 Jul 1827
DescriptionDeborah had a daughter on the 19th July and is recovering slowly, but is considered too delicate to nurse the baby. "It is brought up so far by hand, and seems to thrive with the victuals taken through a parchment tied to a vessel for the purpose". The little boy thrived like this and they prefer it to using a wet nurse. Elizabeth Janson's two children are with his brother Thomas Backhouse. Hopes Elizabeth is a little improved in health since she came [she is now a widow]. She will take a house just outside the city, the one in prospect is a new one in a row, not large, but a comfortable size for her family, five minutes walk from them and less from fields which are crossed by a footpath. The Carrolls want to move from Tottenham to Liverpool. Hagger has moved to Chelmsford and has lately spoken in a meeting as a minister and it may "be his lot to publicly advocate the cause of truth". His own acknowledgement of divine help in temptation, news of Friends, public meetings, etc.
