Abstract
A letter to Reverend William Jackson dictated and signed by William Wordsworth and written by his daughter Dora Wordsworth in which Wordsworth congratulates Jackson on his recent engagement. Wordsworth also describes everyday matters in the Wordsworth family and in the surrounding neighborhood, including Dora's recent sickness, his own poor eyesight, his sister's improving condition, and his sons' education and work. He thanks Jackson for helping John in his efforts to find a position. Additionally, Wordsworth discusses the state of the Church and mentions that he will save some of his thoughts on the topic until he sees Jackson and his bride in person. Although the letter is dated March 10, the postmark appears to be May 11, 1829.
