Summary
Enclosing a letter for Montgomery's mother; mentioning the bad weather and a recent shooting excursion; describing how he ruined his friend Bedford's patent shoes, which had been loaned to him: "I dare say they answered very well at Dover but the heather hills here are very different from the white hillocks there;" sending greetings and asking Dyer to write him a long letter in response.
