June 9th 1880
Dear
Brother
I was very glad to see you punctuality
to orders but I denie your charge on the noun patience which of course if you
were passing it you would put it in the feminine gender because you never see
it in a man so much do you say about young men and women that I should think
you know something about them. Please
state who she is what she is what is her name.
Arabella I should think because that would be a capital name for an
Iron-mongers wife or rather a gentlemans well I suppose so much for that
subject. We are 11 young ladies besides
Miss Emery she is an old maid so you might know what she is like other old
maids would be It is two long years or more before I shall be free of any
apprenticeship. I am very glad to hear
that you will have a chance of shaking hand with our friend and brother the
Prince if you do so be sure and remind him that you have a sister at Miss Emery
Bedford house Walters Road Swansea in the County of Glamorgan South Wales and
would be very much obliged if he would give her half of that days income. Today we never expected anything but a
cabbage and a can of milk. I was greatly
surprised on opening thee cupboard door to see [see] 3 large gooseberry cakes
we only get a letter from home once a week and that is on Saturday morning
written on Friday night saying that they are quite well hoping we are the same
they are very busy wants pack up and be off to bed.

letter from Hannah)
