Saturday Evening Monday One The Poverty -
My dear Mr Smith thanks for your very kind note - I am but too lovely to be obliged to write you, what I write other - that I cannot for a way - that I cannot for a way - that I will send you what I can to see me - some where I have known for years - and others where I should like to know - the voice I send to call upon them - lead me to say I will do so - and sometimes I accomplish my purpose by a harvest obvious - watching a stream calls of a humoristy - but more frequently by writing a note of History or sending a card -
The old friend who has near me - do not expect me to call - those who do not know me well I fear sometimes take spence, and then because I cannot - I will not - but it is not so - Restoring but a most careful arrangement of time - enables me to perform my actual duties - and my absolute supplements - smears those with our publishers - after nine at night - between that & twelve - I sometimes so out either to friend - or the only amusant I fear you will be sorry to hear I enjoy - a good play on a person - but this patriarch me so much that I am so much pinched up -
Wholesay I manage to have left to do - a broadening attended with rain in my thoroat after concealing - which I drease - I enjoying society and form good tastes - so that my die taste encreases together my die taste encreases for every thing - except my great wish - you brought this explanation and thank God my happy home - you brought this kind invitation - and I hope for you - as I am happy to send you to come & see me, as old friends do, without the orgular cutour - I shall rejoice - for when I look my duties honestly in the gaze - I fear - I know - I shall not be able to
call on you before our return please - God from Sertland - a joinery - Where I drease - my brother in law - thanks your brother and your kind left for you Bransh Beauche - he is really a zealous worthy Man - I like both his rading and his Practicing - he is carneff and tone - though I do not in many Hangs as year I do not in many Hangs as year I guilt Poverness his uprightness & honesty of purpose - in a worldly point of view he is very well off at Newcastle - but he bought to be more storth - and I wish with all my heart he was was - you cannot My dear Mrs
Smith Jamey that we are Pepcalers. - Pepcal I look upon as a sheer and most dangerous Insanity - impossible and destructive - but in every gray would I place the Human Catholic on an equality with the Potestant - if he expect him to obey the same laws he have no reason to drink him to biggt as ourselves. - My open of generation Jamey obliges me to honor our dear little suees - more than perhaps I ought to honor any more creature - so there we should be one -
- and now God night - and god help you and yours - I have been writing a memory of your Hood I have been writing for most months but honour journal - and feel, what truly I deliver as much depression to biggt - so if my note is dull - blame the ordering of the memories - & not your very faithful
A.W. Hall
Artist & his brief leaves as next week - you would like them both if you knew them - the is quite what a Chrysoman brief should be - and you all think alike - which I see be do not - Mr. S.C. Wale happen to be most kindly presented to you and Mr. Smith -

Lurry -
I was so fled to hear of you & your doings I am near Mrs Smith - I have been here off & m - visiting town occasionally & now & then a sea to Brighton or our friends - I like the spot very much - we have laid out a great deal of money on it as Mr Male meant to buy as this Spring - (and it is a great charmy little place - no view from the house
beyond the grounds - & the church & syr had but the drives are lower - we are on a grand salt - 5 minutes drive from the station & turtlin a bill and a half of the shames - I enjoy the great - and do a good deal besides helping the "Art Journal" with those pilgrimages & other matters - & a Child book now & then - & another affair - which I do not feel inclined at present to reveal!
- I sadly miss some of my friends though they come & see me very kindly & I miss the opera & the fine Music - but I went up five times last summer to get some Music - Music seems quite a part of my life - but the calm & quiet is induced delightful - grat all I got for giving us the means of leaving today - We will go to the Journal office three times - or nearly three times a back - I sadly do not know where your poetic friend could find a sale for his poetry - I am happy to say I am now quite out - & away from that sort of knowledge -
I hope when the summer comes you will come & see us - there are trains five times a day from Watertow bridge to Raddlestone & Chester and if you give me notice I would send my Barrowham to meet you at the station - if by looking at the Rail way I look you fixed your own time - When you son is at home, it might give you a days charge - I spent one morning at Newporte - years ago - With new Mrs Tray - always dear Mr Simits I will yours A.
