DescriptionHer plans are uncertain, although she is considering taking 'little Richenda' [Fry, her daughter] to school at Brighton. Rachel [Elizabeth Fry, another daughter] has been delicate and they must decline Dr [William] Somerville's invitation, deferring it until later next week. Rachel may still be able to meet Kater at Stamford Hill and Elizabeth's brother and his family may join the party. She hopes to be one of the number.

Continued under the initials 'R.F. [Rachel Elizabeth Fry?]. Her uncle says that his carriage will be there on Friday and she gives details of the party timings and resulting difficulties. Kater must say what he wishes to do, and she hopes that Mrs Kater will join them.
