In April 1818, John Marsh’s son, Edward Garrard, acquired a letter from his uncle William, in Southwell, saying, ‘My health has been for a substantial time very indifferent. I goal visiting Cheltenham at first of July, to strive the advantage of the waters.’ Edward replied, saying, ‘I’ve been beneath the care of Mr Tuckwell, an eminent surgeon in Oxford, not for any bruises or wound, however for a succession of sores, which have spontaneously damaged out in my right leg, and which he attributes to indigestion. In July, John Marsh received a letter from his sister at Southwell, forwarded by his brother Henry, ‘giving a very unhealthy account of our brother Will’m who was a lot emaciated, & co’d keep nothing upon his stomach, having for several weeks had no appetite, altho’ in the letter I obtained from him on the 12h. he wrote in fairly good spirits, & seemed to have hopes from a brand new prescription of Dr Storer’s, of Nottingham, he had then began upon. The explanation for these continued attendances of Mr Heathcote, was not merely on account of his musical skills, but because of his now being a obtained admirer of my niece Catherine, to whom he had transferred the addresses he had as soon as paid to her Sister Mary (Rebecca).

Within the evening younger Heathcote, the organist, who was now paying his addresses to my niece Catherine, came in about 8. after we had some music, through which my nephew William sung the bass, wherein way we spent the latter a part of a lot of the evenings I spent there.’ On the Sunday (22nd) Marsh went to the church service however was a lot put out by the way in which the bells performed the tune ‘God save great George’ and provided to change it to that of the 104th psalm or else to take out the superfluous notes in the present tune, however Dr Wylde, the prebendary in residence, declined his proposal. In consideration of this he the identical evening came to us, with a purpose to go by the subsequent day’s coach to London, which he accordingly did, & hoped to be able to set out in one of many northern mails the same night. 8 set off in a coach for Southwell which I reached in time to have gone to church with my Sister & family had I had any change of raiment, of which the loss of my trunk had deprived me. She was primarily instrumental in Holy Trinity Church being constructed, and has been its chief supporter ever since, from which place she can be vastly missed.

On Monday the 26. I anticipated my Sister, Nieces & grandaughter Harriett down by the coach, for whom I had taken locations earlier than I left town, & accordingly ordered dinner at 5. once i went to cease the coach at the fleece, but was surprized at discovering it come in empty withinside, the coachman saying that no person came either to the Belle Sauvage, Golden cross or Elephant & castle at which latter place he waited a long time. La Paz additionally was a place the place he watched his kids develop up, marry, and start to lift youngsters of their very own. They were not nevertheless to be united till he had laid by a competency to start housekeeping with.

Young Ladies until the Age of ten Years, are obtained at Thirty Guineas per Annum. There are three sitting rooms under stairs, and a breakfast room above, (by which we sit to read & work) all besides one wanting into the backyard, which isn’t I think bigger than ours, but very pretty, being turfed all over; with a gravel stroll spherical and a border on every side.

We have subsequently been to no different Church and suppose we shall relish lower than ever your Southwell preacher. We discovered your Uncle Marsh fairly properly and in good spirits; but your poor uncle Henry I believe a very good deal altered. In September, John Marsh set off to see his sister once more, eventually arriving at Newark, ‘the place having breakfasted within the lodge, a submit chaise took me the remaining eight miles to Southwell, the place I discovered my Sister & family all properly. It doesn’t take a lot of money to arrange a great e-mail server for an office; setting up an e-mail infrastructure for an organisation the dimensions of the FBI is a challenge to plan, to make certain, but it may well still be done for not a lot of money. By at the present time’s London coach they nonetheless arrived, 2 within, & 2 with out, when it appeared that they had not received prepared in time, as just after they should have been on the Belle Sauvage, they have been cording their containers & sent J. Williams there to ask when it wo’d be able to set out, who discovered it was simply gone but wo’d cease at the Elephant & castle.
