| Summary: |
Regards to Mr & Mrs Burton and looks forward to dinner with them next Saturday. No objection to make missionary collection at Manchester 'Sunday sennight' [week Sunday]. However, chief pecuniary aid brings to missions is by private application and was asked by the 'Committee in London' [possibly Finance and Advice Committee] to assist in Stockport. Travel undertaken since [Wesleyan Methodist] Conference through Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Leicestershire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and South Wales where the societies are all 'small & poor' has been unfavourable to private application for missions.
Unable to visit Altringham [Altrincham, Cheshire] as doesn't want to leave his wife alone. Intends to go to Ireland via Chester and Wales (the latter where they have delayed their Quarterly meetings for him). His wife's health is poor, particularly in winter, due to 'the weakness of her Constitution' and thus she is unable to venture out in winter and he must stay with her at meal times. Sends regards to a number of friends.
