To Thomas Martin 20 June 1848

Bath House Hotel, Yarmouth

20 June 1848

My dear Sir,

I was at home yesterday to see after our Benefit Club, when we had our quarterly frolic as all sorts of re-unions are called in Suffolk. What with a fine evening & our little Workhouse band, the villagers enjoyed themselves till dark – the Clubmen imbibing (my cook tells me) 7 pails full of tea & coffee – I had 3 recruits enlist on the spot, & I feel we are daily gaining ground from the bad pothouse clubs – we shall [be] here (for Mrs H’s health) about a fortnight I running to’ & fro’

Very truly yours

J. S. Henslow
