Hazelwood near Birmingham
Monday March 8 1824
Dear Sir
The editor of the Hazelwood Magazine will
acknowledge your kindness to himself and to us through
him — I can not however forego the opportunity which is
offered by the parcel to you for expressing the strong sense
of your goodness felt by myself and my family. Were
we to vent our feelings even upon every new occasion
on which an act of regard on your part calls them forth
we should become troublesome intruders upon your
time, that most valuable portion of public property,
for such have you made it — You must however
indulge us with a few minutes for the purpose now and
then — My son Matthew informs us that you have
it in purpose to place two Greeks under our care for
the sake of thus acquiring the free spirit which it is
our glory to infuse — Be assured that we feel the
honour done us, most keenly; and that if any thing could
make us or ought to make us partially active in an
individual charge it would be the consideration
of how much is thus placed in our hands and by whom.
We have lately received a boy through the recommendation
of that ardent philanthropist Mr Owen of Lanark
P.S. My Son Roland asks me to apologize to you for his neglect
respecting some plans of the house — Oh that the original could
be honoured with your inspection — These plans are so nearly
finished that he had hopes of sending them by this parcel. —
He finds however now that his views in this respect can not
be accomplished though he hopes to send them by the next
parcel that will go from us to London.
I have a little volume of
yours upon Logic which if you can permit I am anxious to
keep a little longer. Thanks for the loan of it as for a
multitude of favours beside
