Brinsop Court near Hereford - My dear Cousin, I have just received a letter from Coleorton, in which my I am glad of this opportunity to thank you for a very entertaining letter you sent me a short time before you left Rydal. Young Ladies letters are such stupid things I could not think of troubling you with one merely to inform you of the due receipt of yours - Mr Monkhouse was much [page break (2)]pleased by your remembrance of him, & begs us to repeat the hope he entertains of seeing you all some time or other at the Stow - I have had very pleasant letters from Miss Cookson who keeps well at Bristol - Miss Southey leaves Keswick for Bath on the 15th she is to halt here a short time on her way - I heard from Willy this morning all well at home. Mrs Ellwood, (the Lady after whom my Uncle jumped into the Lake as you may remember) is expected to pay them a visit soon - Owen has taken up his abode with Mrs Luff for one half year & is happy and well - Neither they nor the Southeys have heard any thing further of the Yankees. We had Mr Quillinan here for ten days pheasant shooting, he enjoyed himself much, he gave us a funny description of Barber's wig, & Willy tells us that Barber says it is the proper color but in size a perfect Bee hive - I was delighted to hear of Charles' success at Christ Church. You keep up the name at any rate, & I only hope that we poor stupes shan't disgrace it. More than this I never expect I hope John is well, I have his Scotch letter to my Aunt, if my Uncle comes it shall be returned by him, if not I will take care of it for him - [page break (3)]This is a rich & beautiful country - rich in wood & pasture but sadly wanting in water - we are within a mile of - My kindest love to my Uncle & Cousin, & believe me my dear Christopher Your very affectionate Dora Wordsworth - You will remember me if you please to Charles when you write, I hope he has recovered from his lazy fit - [page break (4)]Christopher Wordsworth Esqre Trinity College Cambridge
