“As the time is fast approaching for the assizes, I do myself the pleasure of addressing you to express a hope that you still continue in the mind to be present at them.
My plans are these—to send the coach and horses to Chelmsford on Saturday, and to post down on Sunday morning, accompanied by my little chaplain, Mr. L——, and my brother-in-law, with whom I shall have great pleasure in making you acquainted. The judges are to arrive at Chelmsford on Sunday afternoon, about half-past five or six o’clock, to go to church the following morning, and afterwards proceed to business. The Black Boy Inn will be my head quarters, and I hope to see you there on Sunday. I should think you would find no difficulty in procuring a conveyance, although it would be as well to look out in time, as a good many people will be coming down about the same time. * * *
