Thomas Coke to Robert Carr Brackenbury Esq, at Raithby Hall, near Bolingbroke, Lincolnshire, 18th February 1811
First page of a letter written by Thomas Coke shortly after the passing of his wife Penelope, documenting Coke's distress. Coke is referencing his overriding goal to establish missions overseas:"If God's will and the Missions were out of the question, I should long to drop my Body...", but also that "..the Missions (...) are now 1,400 £ (sic) in debt, and will be soon £1,700."
