Scope and Content

From Mrs William Ready [in New Zealand] to [Lewis Court].

Reference is made to a visit from E. R. Winnis? a granddaughter of Mr Vanstone [either Thomas Grills or Isaac Balkwill]. They are a farming family and Mr Winnis? used also to be a butcher when they were in Dunedin. They were very good to the Ready family during their early days in Denedin. Mr Winnis had a brother called William in London, who was an important man in the Bible Christian Church there. The Ready family stayed with him when they were in England.

She sees that 123 copies of [Court's biography of her husband Ready Aye Ready] have been sold, leaving 8 copies unsold.

They all have colds at present, which is normal at this time of year. They are making a big effort to pay off the debts owed on the church.
