- Scope and Content:
- "Feb 13 '76. My dear Lewis, I met your brother in the street this morning and was grieved to hear from him that you were not so well and that the cold weather affected you. This cold is most penetrating, for almost ever since I was with you I have been bothered with a cough and irritation in my throat, and I cannot get well in consequence of the cold. If the cold serves me in this unjustifiable manner, my whole life being spent in the exercise of jumping up and down stools and steps, how is it to be wondered at that you are cruelly victimized by the tyrant when you can never take enough exercise to counteract its baneful insinuation. I can tell you nothing of the R.A. transactions at present for as yet nothing has been done. On Tuesday, as you know, there is a General Meeting when the great battle comes off, more Ass:s or "as you was". If anything notable should occur I will be your humble chronicler. I am now obliged to flit and only send this as a nod in passing. - Please to remem. me most kindly to Mrs Lewis, Ever truly yours, T. Woolner."
