Letter from Prudence Nightingale (nee Hackworth), Leamington to John Hennon Hackworth

Blast pipe claims, error in stating that Stephenson letter being displayed in exhibition of railway appliances; Albert Hackworth cannot find original letter, wants to find it and send it to the exhibition [Colombian World Exhibition?]; Tim Hackworth 'a great invalid’', his family’s money troubles 'it is true the pockets of the Hackworth family as a rule are always below high water mark! But who can tell how much this fact tends to keep them out of temptation? I most certainly believe nothing happens by chance'. (3 sides)
