Letter, Joseph Jekyll at Winchester Assizes to Peter Rye,

News of death of Mrs. Hanna Rye. She has remembered Peter Rye handsomely in her will. Robert was luckily at Bath but Jane & Ann were with her. Sir J. Jervis would have liked to have liked to have Peter Rye as a Lieut. on board the Commerce de Marseilles, which might lead to promotion - but now the plans are uncertain. At least he might mention Peter Rye to Lord Spencer - keep all this private.
