[OTHER SIDE OF SHEET]
that they were making less work for me but I dont see it that way there seems to be more work than ever. Now dear daughter you were asking about your birth dates I will give them to you on the back of this letter. I am glad that Clyde is getting some work to do and that times are likely to get better down there. There has been quite a lot of new snow since the old (melt)away it will do the ground a lot of good if it wets down below for it was very dry and we will be more likely to get a crop. Now I had better close for this time. I hope and pray that God will bless and help you through these trying times. Iremain as ever your loving and affectionate Father.

Thomas married a widow Mary Thornton (nee Easton) the widow of Peter Thornton of Rillington. He left a Will. He would have probably benefited from the law at the time which would have meant that he took all of Mary's property at his marriage. He mentions his two step children in his Will [the people mentioned as 'in-laws']. The small amount is not a sign of lack of kindness towards his step children as they were both settled by this time, John Thornton was married to a member of the Ruston family and Hannah was also settled in marriage.
