My Dear Mit

Will you tomorrow morning go to my Hat Maker near Lambeth House and order a new Hat for me to be without fail at the Deanery on or before Saturday Evening and also go to the Golden [Bell/Ball?] in Pall Mall and buy one yard of Broad Red Silk Ribbon of the Order of the Bath and bring it with you to Oxford that I may be ready for Drayton and Cambridge. You or one of the little girls have my red Ribbons which you had better find to get the measure exact. If they cannot find it the [drapers?] shop probably know the exact length. I think it costs 5 or 6 pence and will you remind Robert to send on letters Thursday before 8am and before 5pm will you write to tell me how the children's cough goes on and your Mamma

Yours affectionately

W. Buckland

My Dear Mary

In the [?] [?] of the weather there may be risk of taking cold by exposure to it. I had better continue here to arrange Papers that must require attention. [Mr Saumaurez?] wrote to Mr Arrowsmith proposing that he should take the duty at Islip and begin his [?] on the 13 Jany. I have a note today from him accepting by Invitation to the Rectory for a day or 2 on his arrival and in reply I invite him to arrive on the 12th to take his first Sunday on the 13th.
I hope the frost will have ended before the 12th. You had better not think of moving while the weather continues in its [?] severity. I had no memorandum of money advanced on [?] to poor [fellow?] nor do I remember to what time I paid him last but his Bill is in my Tin Box at Islip in a Packet labelled Paid Bills by next post Pray forward a large letter from Oxford for Mr Lawlor sealed properly with a silvered [wafer?] it is Mr Lawlor's Gas [?] which I should return to him immediately. It will be the size of a large sheet of foolscap.
