do--for people cry out what 'sweet mild weather', and all are upon the move.

But I must be done. I have several letters to write. I had J. Arnold to dine last week, Mary Twining1 has offered to come and stay with me--the C's yesterday, and I must have the Flemings and Davys next week--then the Roughsedges2 if they are able, and not gone to Bury!!!

God bless you all--I am quite well and shall rejoice to hear of your all being so. Love to all

The day has burst out beautifully but I have not time to look and correct my letter.

169. TO SUSAN WORDSWORTH

Rydal Mount June 28th--52

My dear Susan,

We were all delighted with the good tidings we received from your dear Husband, whom you must thank for his kind and welcome note.

You, dear Susan, manage these matters in a quiet old fashioned way--and but for a hint some time ago from Mrs Hoare, the announcement of such an arrival would have been a surprize to me. I hope we may continue to have favourable reports both of yourself and the Babe. What a Treasure it will be in the Nursery!

I shall however like to hear of your speedy removal to your Country Home, where you will gather strength and breathe the fresh air, after your Confinement.

You will be glad, but surprized to hear that I am now engaged in helping to make Shirts for my Grandsons! Since my right eye, (the only one which hitherto has been useful to me,) has become dark, the other, idle one that used to lurk in a corner, has come forth, and by practise gradually improves, so that I am not only able to read, but to thread my needle--A privilege I am most thankful for. Dr Davy tells me that a Cataract has formed upon the right eye: -- I had always accounted for its increasing dimness--merely from its being worn out by long service.--You see therefore the Squinting has its advantages, and that good appears where least looked for-- thro' the Will of our Merciful Father.
