This morning my dear daughter was married in St. James's in this place.
Tomorrow we leave Bath for Wells, and thence to the old haunts of Mr. Coleridge, and myself, and dear sister, about Alfoxden.
Adieu,
W. W.[181]
123. Letters to his Brother.

[The above relates to an act of kindness which the late Master of Trinity had the happiness of performing, on the occasion of Dora Wordsworth's marriage.
The following refers to a serious accident which occurred to him at Cambridge, by a fall from his horse.]
