From Richard Whately   27 June 1842

Dear Sir

As you are so near (I suppose) as to be able to dine at Manchester & breakfast next morning with me, let me beg of you to give us a little of the pleasure of your company at our country house at Redesdale four miles from Dublin. Besides a hearty welcome from Mrs Whately & myself, I can offer you the company of two young ladies who are, as you will know, among your admirers, my daughter & Miss Lindsay. We want you also very much to inspect that most important institution our Model-Farm, for wh if you can furnish any useful hints, you may do most important service to all Ireland.

Believe me to be | Dear Sir | very truly yrs |Rd Dublin
