James Miller M'Kim wrote this letter to Miss Weston, presumably Caroline Weston. M'Kim received Caroline Weston's letter introducing Mr. Stephen of Cambridge, England. M'Kim entertained Mr. Stephen at tea and names those people who were present. Mr. & Mrs. James Mott were prevented from coming by the death of their eldest grandson, Henry Cavender. Mrs. Mott is not well. J. Miller M'Kim's daughters sang and played for the guests and his son accompanied them on the bones, "a sort of castanets that were new to him ...a great improvement on the old Moorish idea, ..." J. Miller M'Kim regrets that Caroline Weston's eyes are no better, and he will wait till it is convenient for her to write if she disapproves of his letter "concerning Mr. P." On reflection, M'Kim cannot see that he has anything to retract. He refers to his proposition that a certain book be published.
