Description:
|
The letter relates to the severe weather and news family and friends. Gunning writes from Horton and notes that there had been a thunderstorm that morning which has brought some relief 'from that dreadful weight which was become quite offensive' and hopes for more rain as the weather has dried everything up and all the cattle are starving. She continues that the animals want for food goes 'to one's heart' but reports that they do better than their neighbours due to the water that they have. She also writes that the severity of the last winter has killed all her Green House plants and many of the shrubs of her garden but she enjoys watching 'the progress of every plant' as they return.
