From William Spence   13 September 1858

13 September 1858

My dear Sir,

You will excuse my not replying sooner to your letter when I tell you that I am only just very slowly recovering from a long & severe bilious attack which has left me so weak that even writing a few lines is a fatigue, which must be my apology for formally thanking you for your letter & two Programmes & expressing my sincere pleasure that your educational efforts are so justly appreciated by the Government Inspector.

Wishing you & your happy groups of children every enjoyment on Wednesday,

I am | my dear Sir | yours very truly | W. Spence
