Charles Heath to Dawson Turner

My dear Sir,
At last I have the pleasure of fulfilling my promise and send you the MS, to the Keepsake. I have had very great difficulty in getting it all together and now I do not know if it is perfect. I likewise send you a tin case containing the Proofs of England and Wales you have not had.

I hope this will find you and all your family well - I am sorry to say Mrs.Heath has been confined to her room for the last 18 months and I really see no hopes of her ever getting well - It is a complaint of the nerves of the back. - I am now going to take her into the country.

With best respects and believe me my dear Sir,
Yours every truly obliged,
Charles Heath

Local Courts Bill.

The Lord Chancellor having moved the order of the day for the third reading of the Local Courts Bill, and the question being put that the bill be now read a third time.

Lord Wharncliffe moved that it be read a third time this day six months.

The Earl of Rosse observed that a bill of a similar description was adopted by the Irish parliament, which had been in operation ever since, and which had worked most beneficially, and he had often lamented that some similar measure had not been introduced into this country. - - - - continues - - -
Lord Wynford - What I stated was, that in one year 300 causes were tried in the superior courts which might have been tried in the Palace Court.

The Lord Chancellor - But the argument of his noble and learned friend was, that the people did not like the local courts (Loud cheers.) Would their lordships permit him to call their attention to another local court within the limits of the metropolis - that over which his learned friend Sergeant Heath presided. In that court 9,000 causes were disposed of annually. - - - -continues

Tomorrow there is to be a fete at the Gardens, at which it is supposed some thousands will be present; no place in the town is so admirably adapted for the purpose. In addition to the above, we have the gratification of hearing Malibran and De Beriot. To the exertions of our indefatigable librarian, Mr.Wright, we are indebted for this latter tread. - - -

Captain Lempriere, Colonel Patrickson, Captain French, Mr.Spalding (the son-in-law of the Lord Chancellor), Captain de Montmorency, Mr. Sergeant Heath, Colonel Jordan, Captain Bryan, and Mr. and Mrs. B.Craven are among the numerous arrivals at the Albion. - - -

Heath Book of Beauty 1833.

"Let her [L.E.L.] keep to the gentlest tones of her gentle lyre, and renounce equally the pedantries of the shambles and the affectations of fashion."

Saturday 2 November 1833
Charles Heath, Seymour Place to Dawson Turner

I am sure you will be sorry to learn that I have been confined to my Bed with a fractured Leg for the last month, it was done by jumping out of a cabriolet which had a Kicking Horse. I am doing as well as can be expected. Fortunately it is not a compound fracture.

I have the pleasure with this [letter] of sending you the "Keepsake," "Picturesque" and "Book of Beauty," large and small paper except the large Book of Beauty which is not quite ready - the Proofs I cannot send till I get about as I must look them out myself but the moment I am able to do so I shall have much pleasure in forwarding them.

About six months since I sent you a large tin case containing the Proofs of England and Wales and the Proofs of my other works, likewise by the same coach a Deal Box containing the M.S. of the Keepsake. I hope these arrived safe, as I have not heard from you since.

With best respects to yourself and all your family.
Believe me Dear Sir, Yours very truly,
Charles Heath
