    cold. Today (here) is without Sun & cold (Satrday), and the
    consequence is I do not feel better. I wish I did.
    You & John have been to Hanworth & Cromer, I suppose – the
    latter a favourite place of John's, I know.
    We all desire our loves to you & John,
    {crossed out – Remb} Remember, I hope hope for a long & true account
    of your doings since you left us, & may it be as happy
    as possible.
    Tell John to write to me soon.
    Love to you both, God bless you.
    Your affectionate father
    J. S. Cotman.
