I'm sick of staring at it Wendy...... they keep sending Legs of Mutton and ham to members of the family .... but I'm blowed as what they making with this one.
Sorry. the next bit I crossed out said ' & think it a very nice one' .... I crossed it out by mistake
Had a look too - and as Wendy says - but doesn't make sense - if you know when letter dated, could be an old recipe book could help...... that programme ''Supersizers'' on at the moment lists Menus of all sorts of things they ate in the past which don't make sense now.

searching Gillett (Preston/Sheffield). Campbell and Hepburn in Glasgow
the letter was sent in 1838 from farmers in Westmorland to family in surrey
with the bit I crossed out saying '& think it a very nice one' ...... it sounds strange.... maybe it was some sort of deal ....I think think they bought them and sometimes sold them to other friends
I photographed them at Kendal ... and I'm trying to transcribe them all ...most are pretty easy until you come across a strange word ..... I'll just put a question mark.
Thanks everyone
Jean
Just laughing at Bridget ....great.... and then the next bit ' & think it a very nice one'
