Summary
The last batch of letters was almost lost due to the carelessness of Dr. Vinans. Hannah is very pleased with the present. Peter Augustus is well. Peter Jay was plundered by a group of robbers, as was Mr. John Reade and Mr. Comfort Sands. It is unfortunate that Sarah must live in a country so lacking in entertainment.
