LETTER NINE.


London,

February 12th, 1839.

My Dear Sister,

Among other things, we must get you or Maria, some time before your last parcel, to go to Edgbaston church and obtain two certificates of our marriage. They will cost a shilling each. You must ask of the sexton, or beadle, for Mr. Harrison, the clerk. The best time, I think, would be on a Monday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, or Sunday morning before service. Perhaps the latter time would be the best.

Tell James if he should want to buy any shoes before he goes that he can get them cheapest in London.

Yours,

H. PARKES.
