Asahel H. Woodruff Answered Sept 22 & 23 sent to Draft £4.18 to Asahel H Woodruff No 5 Gay off Jackson St. Manchestre Eng Aug 31 [18]84 Dear Father and Mother It is with pleasure to you that I address a few times this Sabath morn. A heavy mist is hanging over the city and a drizzling rain has ben falling all the foor- noon, takeing it all to gather it is a regular English day. This is a queer climate only last Sunday the heat was so oppresive it was almost impossible to get a breath of fresh air, while the past few days it has ben quite chilley making a place near the glowing hearth the most desirable place when night comes on. I have before me two letters from you (Father) dated Aug 1st & 11th the latter came to hand yeasterday on my return from Liverp- ool. I have not recieved any letter from you (Mother) since the one dated July 6th which I answerd immediately. I also wrote you from Farnworth July the 6th but it seems you must not have recieved it. I will write you again as soon as possible, and trust you will do the same, though I expect there is more work than you know what to do with since
