TitleLetter to Lord Robert Montagu from Charles Kingsley, Eversley, Winchfield [Hants]
DescriptionThanks for the hint about chloroform. Mrs Kingsley has now been confined and the child is a week old and doing well. The popular superstition about childbirth being the punishment for The Fall makes him smile. Mentions old friendship between Mrs Kingsley's family and Montagu's uncle and Montagu's interest in boatbuilding. Followed by theological discussion.
