Found a letter from Mrs A's sister Maria gives an account of the death of Mr Vanderzee of Sol [?] Vanderzee Rochford on the 16th at Southend - and what is strange but already showing the miserable situation of the English Farmer - Mr Wilson who has some of the best turnips in the County and who has had a few years as a Magistrate at Rochford is about canvassing fot the Clerkship to the Bench there, which Mr Vanderzee held. Dined at Mr Reeds No 35 Faubourg St Honoré.
