Description

Humphrey Jones writes to his parents on 6 October 1850 from Chester where he is apprenticed to William Higgins, chemist and druggist. He says that the races and a fair will be held in Chester the following week. On Friday, his employer, William Higgins was away and Humphrey says that they were far happier in his absence as he continually curses them.
