Hinton St. Mary, Dorsetshire January 29th. 1814 Hond. Sir, It is with the greatest Pleasure that myself and Wife return you sincere Thanks for the Favors which you have lately shewn us: It will be a great Help to us in our old Age. We shall never be able to make you Amends for your Goodness: I heartily wish we could. My Wife has not enjoyed her Health since the Decease of her Daughter. I received the Sum of Seventy Five Pounds and Thirteen Shillings last Wednesday from the Sturminster and Dorsetshire Bank, which I understand is the last Payment on Account of my late Daughter's Effects &c. My Wife would be very happy to spend a few Days with you , but she is not able to take so great a Journey. I was informed by Mr. Ensor that you sent my Wife two Bottles of the Essence of Ginger, but she received only one of the them. I was also informed that you sent my Wife the Picture of my late Daughter in a gold Frame which she never received; but my Wife would wish to have it. May Health, and Happiness attend you. I am, Hond. Sir, with the greatest Respect, your obedient humble Servant, Thomas Antell
