22d Jany 1845
My Dear Mother
I have no objection to the plan, unless the ditch is necessary for draining the land. When you have filled it up, suppose a quagmire should result?
The appearance of my second number 1 is delayed by a mistake of the Binder’s who has bound the copies wrong. I shall read the Examiner on your recommendation, but I find the mass of hebdomadal and quotidian intelligence a great evil
Your affte
Henry
