in consequence of the missive, Letter 31: The fields of Elysium, penned by Line
 Ibthorp, 2 miles north of Severton, was the home of Mrs Lloyd, Mary (James' second wife)and Martha Lloyds' mother Mrs Lloyd. In letter 30, 8 January JA writes "Martha's visit is drawing it's close, which we all four regret.- The wedding-day (that is their wedding anniversery, actually on the 17th) is to be celebrated on the 16th .... and a day or to before Mary will drive her sister to Ibthorp to find all the festivity she can..." JA writes rather curtly "I was asked, but declined it".
