Joseph Story (barrister) - Letters 1845
March 1845
My dear Vernon,
will you have the goodness to send £20 to my sister in Dublin fm yours Sincerely
J.M. Story
39 George St
Portman Square
March 29. 45.
We are still here in Hatton Gdns. Rivers a little better & we hope he may be allowed out & enjoy the fine sunny weather, Latham the Doctor is to call today & we expect him any moment.
I have been having an idle life dining early with Rivers most of the days & in the evening at his bedtime going over to Clayton Fruling who is close by in York Place when I take part in a trio with piano and violincello, which makes the end of the evening pass agreeably enought. Last night my mother & I both went to Bryanston Square when there was a merry little party, I saw several old friends & got a great lesson in the ploka & mazurka.
Rivers' spirits are very good & he bears confinement most patiently he is at present deep in landing water & salmon flies, (?)
I have written to Major about my Cavan Case, so say that I suppose we must rest our oars for the rest of the year, unless he can suggest something. I therefore wait paitently his reply and dismiss the subject from my mind as I have quite enough to think of.
I went to Woolwich last Thursday & dined at the mess meeting a large party of naval officers principally consisting of the men about to go on a new Artic Exploration under Sir John Frankling-Bach & Crosgin. I saw their vessels the next day the Eubus & Temus in the dock, such tubs & so like a pair of whales, but of great thought.
My mother would be obliged to you if you would tell Hamilton to make up his month's account of labour & send it & she also wishes to know how she stands with you as soon as you have leisure to write a line.
Pray give my kiond rememberances to Mrs. Vernon & Robin.
Ever yours,
I think this is Joseph Story the barrister. The Rivers of whom he speaks may be his brother William John Rivers who it appears died this year aged 18.JM Story
