Wordsworth, Mary (1770-1859). - Letter, from Rydal Mount, to Edward Moxon Esq, at 44 Dover Street (London), dated 30 August (before 1847?). WLL / Wordsworth, Mary / 3 / 262

Dear Sir

Can you be so kind as procure for me a Copy of the “Family Prayers” of the late Henry Thornton – edited by Sir R.H. Inglis & published by Hatchard. It may be sent down by the first opportunity in a bookseller’s Parcel, to Troughton Ambleside, in his Parcel from Whittakers – if a better opportunity does not occur to you.

With kind regards to Mrs M. & good wishes to her lovely Babe – no longer a babe

believe me to be sincerely yours M. Wordsworth

Rydal Aug 30th
