My clever woman, instead of living alone as she intended when you were here, has had a flirtation with three magazines, and is at present engaged to Hogg’s Churchman’s Family Magazine if she can agree to settlements.

My dear Miss Peard,

I am so sorry I did not come to the full perception of what I had done till I got home, but I was stupid enough when at Puslinch to take your St. Sebastian for your Book of Joshua, and pack it and send it off with the Monthly Paper things, and then I took (or fear I took) Joshua for a letter and made away with it. At least I cannot ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith

At last I have made out that last year’s blunder was that one short chapter of 8 pages was entirely missed over in the counting. This half year there are 76 pp, for which the amount is naturally £9. 10- the pound added from last time makes it £10.. 10- and the slight margin Mr Mozley now allows for our good contributors enables me to make it £12.. 10- for which I ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith

Many thanks for the first sight of my dear friends the Franklyns how attractive Bell’s pretty paper makes them. I will take care they go safely tomorrow on their long voyage, but I am afraid it is quite too late for a notice of them in the forthcoming Packet I take shame to myself for not have remembered that Mutterchen was neuter in the time of the M S and now ... continue reading

My dear Cousin,

The ‘Southern Cross’ arrived safely this morning. Thanks to God!

What it is to us even you can hardly tell; I know not how to pour out my thankfulness. She seems admirably adapted for the work. Mr. Tilly’s report of her performance is most satisfactory: safe, fast, steers well, and very manageable. Internal arrangements very good; after cabin too luxurious, but then that may be wanted for sick folk, and as it is luxurious, ... continue reading

My dear Irene

Many thanks for your sister’s pretty little poem. I daresay it took great effect at your tea drinking. How much more beautiful Aytoun’s is than Tennyson’s and what a glorious day that was! I could see the bridal train rush by on the LSW, and hear the guns fired at Southampton. Our squire gave beef and beer to each family at home, and there was a grand bonfire on the hill

Thank you so ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith,

I have at length obtained the account for the Biographies and am glad to be able to send you the enclosed as your share of the proceeds. Your account of the Procession was in time, and is going in this month with an Illumination story of the last time London was in a blaze.

After this week please to add Elderfield before Otterbourn [sic] in our address. It is a cottage in the ... continue reading

My dear Miss Peard

It is very kind of you and exceedingly inviting - the Sphinxes especially, but just at this moment my mother and I are moving into a cottage - as my brother’s family is outgrowing this house, where I have lived the 39 years of my life - and we are in such difficulties how to stow away our belongings, especially in the way of pictures that we are really afraid to increase ... continue reading

My dear Maggie

What a great day to have your birthday upon. You cannot look to many returns of Holy Thursday upon it, so this will be all the more to remember, but I wish you many, many more happy returns. Thank you and Mamma for your curl. I shall have quite enough now I send you one of the brooches made to a pattern of Mary Queen of Scots which I saw at Edinburgh ... continue reading

I find most people grumble at Leonard’s not being hung, but I mean to make much more of him.

The ‘Southern Cross’ arrived safely this morning. Thanks to God!

What it is to us even you can hardly tell; I know not how to pour out my thankfulness. She seems admirably adapted for the work. Mr. Tilly’s report of her performance is most satisfactory: safe, fast, steers well, and very manageable. Internal arrangements very good; after cabin too luxurious, but then that may be wanted for sick folk, and as it is luxurious, ... continue reading

My dear Irene

Many thanks for your sister’s pretty little poem. I daresay it took great effect at your tea drinking. How much more beautiful Aytoun’s is than Tennyson’s and what a glorious day that was! I could see the bridal train rush by on the LSW, and hear the guns fired at Southampton. Our squire gave beef and beer to each family at home, and there was a grand bonfire on the hill

Thank you so ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith,

I have at length obtained the account for the Biographies and am glad to be able to send you the enclosed as your share of the proceeds. Your account of the Procession was in time, and is going in this month with an Illumination story of the last time London was in a blaze.

After this week please to add Elderfield before Otterbourn [sic] in our address. It is a cottage in the ... continue reading

My dear Miss Peard

It is very kind of you and exceedingly inviting - the Sphinxes especially, but just at this moment my mother and I are moving into a cottage - as my brother’s family is outgrowing this house, where I have lived the 39 years of my life - and we are in such difficulties how to stow away our belongings, especially in the way of pictures that we are really afraid to increase ... continue reading

My dear Maggie

What a great day to have your birthday upon. You cannot look to many returns of Holy Thursday upon it, so this will be all the more to remember, but I wish you many, many more happy returns. Thank you and Mamma for your curl. I shall have quite enough now I send you one of the brooches made to a pattern of Mary Queen of Scots which I saw at Edinburgh ... continue reading

I find most people grumble at Leonard’s not being hung, but I mean to make much more of him.

My clever woman, instead of living alone as she intended when you were here, has had a flirtation with three magazines, and is at present engaged to Hogg’s Churchman’s Family Magazine if she can agree to settlements.

My dear Miss Peard,

I am so sorry I did not come to the full perception of what I had done till I got home, but I was stupid enough when at Puslinch to take your St. Sebastian for your Book of Joshua, and pack it and send it off with the Monthly Paper things, and then I took (or fear I took) Joshua for a letter and made away with it. At least I cannot ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith

At last I have made out that last year’s blunder was that one short chapter of 8 pages was entirely missed over in the counting. This half year there are 76 pp, for which the amount is naturally £9. 10- the pound added from last time makes it £10.. 10- and the slight margin Mr Mozley now allows for our good contributors enables me to make it £12.. 10- for which I ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith

Many thanks for the first sight of my dear friends the Franklyns how attractive Bell’s pretty paper makes them.

After this week please to add Elderfield before Otterbourn [sic] in our address. It is a cottage in the ... continue reading

My dear Miss Peard

It is very kind of you and exceedingly inviting - the Sphinxes especially, but just at this moment my mother and I are moving into a cottage - as my brother’s family is outgrowing this house, where I have lived the 39 years of my life - and we are in such difficulties how to stow away our belongings, especially in the way of pictures that we are really afraid to increase ... continue reading

My dear Maggie

What a great day to have your birthday upon. You cannot look to many returns of Holy Thursday upon it, so this will be all the more to remember, but I wish you many, many more happy returns. Thank you and Mamma for your curl. I shall have quite enough now I send you one of the brooches made to a pattern of Mary Queen of Scots which I saw at Edinburgh ... continue reading

I find most people grumble at Leonard’s not being hung, but I mean to make much more of him.

My clever woman, instead of living alone as she intended when you were here, has had a flirtation with three magazines, and is at present engaged to Hogg’s Churchman’s Family Magazine if she can agree to settlements.

My dear Miss Peard,

I am so sorry I did not come to the full perception of what I had done till I got home, but I was stupid enough when at Puslinch to take your St. Sebastian for your Book of Joshua, and pack it and send it off with the Monthly Paper things, and then I took (or fear I took) Joshua for a letter and made away with it. At least I cannot ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith

At last I have made out that last year’s blunder was that one short chapter of 8 pages was entirely missed over in the counting. This half year there are 76 pp, for which the amount is naturally £9. 10- the pound added from last time makes it £10.. 10- and the slight margin Mr Mozley now allows for our good contributors enables me to make it £12.. 10- for which I ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith

Many thanks for the first sight of my dear friends the Franklyns how attractive Bell’s pretty paper makes them. I will take care they go safely tomorrow on their long voyage, but I am afraid it is quite too late for a notice of them in the forthcoming Packet I take shame to myself for not have remembered that Mutterchen was neuter in the time of the M S and now ... continue reading

My dear Cousin,

The ‘Southern Cross’ arrived safely this morning. Thanks to God!

What it is to us even you can hardly tell; I know not how to pour out my thankfulness. She seems admirably adapted for the work. Mr. Tilly’s report of her performance is most satisfactory: safe, fast, steers well, and very manageable. Internal arrangements very good; after cabin too luxurious, but then that may be wanted for sick folk, and as it is luxurious, ... continue reading

My dear Irene

Many thanks for your sister’s pretty little poem. I daresay it took great effect at your tea drinking. How much more beautiful Aytoun’s is than Tennyson’s and what a glorious day that was! I could see the bridal train rush by on the LSW, and hear the guns fired at Southampton. Our squire gave beef and beer to each family at home, and there was a grand bonfire on the hill

Thank you so ... continue reading

My dear Miss Peard,

I am so sorry I did not come to the full perception of what I had done till I got home, but I was stupid enough when at Puslinch to take your St. Sebastian for your Book of Joshua, and pack it and send it off with the Monthly Paper things, and then I took (or fear I took) Joshua for a letter and made away with it. At least I cannot ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith

At last I have made out that last year’s blunder was that one short chapter of 8 pages was entirely missed over in the counting. This half year there are 76 pp, for which the amount is naturally £9. 10- the pound added from last time makes it £10.. 10- and the slight margin Mr Mozley now allows for our good contributors enables me to make it £12.. 10- for which I ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith

Many thanks for the first sight of my dear friends the Franklyns how attractive Bell’s pretty paper makes them. I will take care they go safely tomorrow on their long voyage, but I am afraid it is quite too late for a notice of them in the forthcoming Packet I take shame to myself for not have remembered that Mutterchen was neuter in the time of the M S and now ... continue reading

My dear Cousin,

The ‘Southern Cross’ arrived safely this morning. Thanks to God!

What it is to us even you can hardly tell; I know not how to pour out my thankfulness. She seems admirably adapted for the work. Mr. Tilly’s report of her performance is most satisfactory: safe, fast, steers well, and very manageable. Internal arrangements very good; after cabin too luxurious, but then that may be wanted for sick folk, and as it is luxurious, ... continue reading

My dear Irene

Many thanks for your sister’s pretty little poem. I daresay it took great effect at your tea drinking. How much more beautiful Aytoun’s is than Tennyson’s and what a glorious day that was! I could see the bridal train rush by on the LSW, and hear the guns fired at Southampton. Our squire gave beef and beer to each family at home, and there was a grand bonfire on the hill

Thank you so ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith,

I have at length obtained the account for the Biographies and am glad to be able to send you the enclosed as your share of the proceeds. Your account of the Procession was in time, and is going in this month with an Illumination story of the last time London was in a blaze.

After this week please to add Elderfield before Otterbourn [sic] in our address. It is a cottage in the ... continue reading

My dear Miss Peard

It is very kind of you and exceedingly inviting - the Sphinxes especially, but just at this moment my mother and I are moving into a cottage - as my brother’s family is outgrowing this house, where I have lived the 39 years of my life - and we are in such difficulties how to stow away our belongings, especially in the way of pictures that we are really afraid to increase ... continue reading

My dear Maggie

What a great day to have your birthday upon. You cannot look to many returns of Holy Thursday upon it, so this will be all the more to remember, but I wish you many, many more happy returns. Thank you and Mamma for your curl. I shall have quite enough now I send you one of the brooches made to a pattern of Mary Queen of Scots which I saw at Edinburgh ... continue reading

I will take care they go safely tomorrow on their long voyage, but I am afraid it is quite too late for a notice of them in the forthcoming Packet I take shame to myself for not have remembered that Mutterchen was neuter in the time of the M S and now ... continue reading

My dear Cousin,

The ‘Southern Cross’ arrived safely this morning. Thanks to God!

What it is to us even you can hardly tell; I know not how to pour out my thankfulness. She seems admirably adapted for the work. Mr. Tilly’s report of her performance is most satisfactory: safe, fast, steers well, and very manageable. Internal arrangements very good; after cabin too luxurious, but then that may be wanted for sick folk, and as it is luxurious, ... continue reading

My dear Irene

Many thanks for your sister’s pretty little poem. I daresay it took great effect at your tea drinking. How much more beautiful Aytoun’s is than Tennyson’s and what a glorious day that was! I could see the bridal train rush by on the LSW, and hear the guns fired at Southampton. Our squire gave beef and beer to each family at home, and there was a grand bonfire on the hill

Thank you so ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith,

I have at length obtained the account for the Biographies and am glad to be able to send you the enclosed as your share of the proceeds. Your account of the Procession was in time, and is going in this month with an Illumination story of the last time London was in a blaze.

After this week please to add Elderfield before Otterbourn [sic] in our address. It is a cottage in the ... continue reading

My dear Miss Peard

It is very kind of you and exceedingly inviting - the Sphinxes especially, but just at this moment my mother and I are moving into a cottage - as my brother’s family is outgrowing this house, where I have lived the 39 years of my life - and we are in such difficulties how to stow away our belongings, especially in the way of pictures that we are really afraid to increase ... continue reading

My dear Maggie

What a great day to have your birthday upon. You cannot look to many returns of Holy Thursday upon it, so this will be all the more to remember, but I wish you many, many more happy returns. Thank you and Mamma for your curl. I shall have quite enough now I send you one of the brooches made to a pattern of Mary Queen of Scots which I saw at Edinburgh ... continue reading

I find most people grumble at Leonard’s not being hung, but I mean to make much more of him.

My clever woman, instead of living alone as she intended when you were here, has had a flirtation with three magazines, and is at present engaged to Hogg’s Churchman’s Family Magazine if she can agree to settlements.

My dear Miss Peard,

I am so sorry I did not come to the full perception of what I had done till I got home, but I was stupid enough when at Puslinch to take your St. Sebastian for your Book of Joshua, and pack it and send it off with the Monthly Paper things, and then I took (or fear I took) Joshua for a letter and made away with it. At least I cannot ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith

At last I have made out that last year’s blunder was that one short chapter of 8 pages was entirely missed over in the counting. This half year there are 76 pp, for which the amount is naturally £9. 10- the pound added from last time makes it £10.. 10- and the slight margin Mr Mozley now allows for our good contributors enables me to make it £12.. 10- for which I ... continue reading

I have at length obtained the account for the Biographies and am glad to be able to send you the enclosed as your share of the proceeds. Your account of the Procession was in time, and is going in this month with an Illumination story of the last time London was in a blaze.

After this week please to add Elderfield before Otterbourn [sic] in our address. It is a cottage in the ... continue reading

My dear Miss Peard

It is very kind of you and exceedingly inviting - the Sphinxes especially, but just at this moment my mother and I are moving into a cottage - as my brother’s family is outgrowing this house, where I have lived the 39 years of my life - and we are in such difficulties how to stow away our belongings, especially in the way of pictures that we are really afraid to increase ... continue reading

My dear Maggie

What a great day to have your birthday upon. You cannot look to many returns of Holy Thursday upon it, so this will be all the more to remember, but I wish you many, many more happy returns. Thank you and Mamma for your curl. I shall have quite enough now I send you one of the brooches made to a pattern of Mary Queen of Scots which I saw at Edinburgh ... continue reading

I find most people grumble at Leonard’s not being hung, but I mean to make much more of him.

My clever woman, instead of living alone as she intended when you were here, has had a flirtation with three magazines, and is at present engaged to Hogg’s Churchman’s Family Magazine if she can agree to settlements.

My dear Miss Peard,

I am so sorry I did not come to the full perception of what I had done till I got home, but I was stupid enough when at Puslinch to take your St. Sebastian for your Book of Joshua, and pack it and send it off with the Monthly Paper things, and then I took (or fear I took) Joshua for a letter and made away with it. At least I cannot ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith

At last I have made out that last year’s blunder was that one short chapter of 8 pages was entirely missed over in the counting. This half year there are 76 pp, for which the amount is naturally £9. 10- the pound added from last time makes it £10.. 10- and the slight margin Mr Mozley now allows for our good contributors enables me to make it £12.. 10- for which I ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith

Many thanks for the first sight of my dear friends the Franklyns how attractive Bell’s pretty paper makes them. I will take care they go safely tomorrow on their long voyage, but I am afraid it is quite too late for a notice of them in the forthcoming Packet I take shame to myself for not have remembered that Mutterchen was neuter in the time of the M S and now ... continue reading

My dear Cousin,

The ‘Southern Cross’ arrived safely this morning. Thanks to God!

What it is to us even you can hardly tell; I know not how to pour out my thankfulness. She seems admirably adapted for the work. Mr. Tilly’s report of her performance is most satisfactory: safe, fast, steers well, and very manageable. Internal arrangements very good; after cabin too luxurious, but then that may be wanted for sick folk, and as it is luxurious, ... continue reading

My dear Irene

Many thanks for your sister’s pretty little poem. I daresay it took great effect at your tea drinking. How much more beautiful Aytoun’s is than Tennyson’s and what a glorious day that was! I could see the bridal train rush by on the LSW, and hear the guns fired at Southampton. Our squire gave beef and beer to each family at home, and there was a grand bonfire on the hill

Thank you so ... continue reading

My clever woman, instead of living alone as she intended when you were here, has had a flirtation with three magazines, and is at present engaged to Hogg’s Churchman’s Family Magazine if she can agree to settlements.

My dear Miss Peard,

I am so sorry I did not come to the full perception of what I had done till I got home, but I was stupid enough when at Puslinch to take your St. Sebastian for your Book of Joshua, and pack it and send it off with the Monthly Paper things, and then I took (or fear I took) Joshua for a letter and made away with it. At least I cannot ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith

At last I have made out that last year’s blunder was that one short chapter of 8 pages was entirely missed over in the counting. This half year there are 76 pp, for which the amount is naturally £9. 10- the pound added from last time makes it £10.. 10- and the slight margin Mr Mozley now allows for our good contributors enables me to make it £12.. 10- for which I ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith

Many thanks for the first sight of my dear friends the Franklyns how attractive Bell’s pretty paper makes them. I will take care they go safely tomorrow on their long voyage, but I am afraid it is quite too late for a notice of them in the forthcoming Packet I take shame to myself for not have remembered that Mutterchen was neuter in the time of the M S and now ... continue reading

My dear Cousin,

The ‘Southern Cross’ arrived safely this morning. Thanks to God!

What it is to us even you can hardly tell; I know not how to pour out my thankfulness. She seems admirably adapted for the work. Mr. Tilly’s report of her performance is most satisfactory: safe, fast, steers well, and very manageable. Internal arrangements very good; after cabin too luxurious, but then that may be wanted for sick folk, and as it is luxurious, ... continue reading

My dear Irene

Many thanks for your sister’s pretty little poem. I daresay it took great effect at your tea drinking. How much more beautiful Aytoun’s is than Tennyson’s and what a glorious day that was! I could see the bridal train rush by on the LSW, and hear the guns fired at Southampton. Our squire gave beef and beer to each family at home, and there was a grand bonfire on the hill

Thank you so ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith,

I have at length obtained the account for the Biographies and am glad to be able to send you the enclosed as your share of the proceeds. Your account of the Procession was in time, and is going in this month with an Illumination story of the last time London was in a blaze.

After this week please to add Elderfield before Otterbourn [sic] in our address. It is a cottage in the ... continue reading

My dear Miss Peard

It is very kind of you and exceedingly inviting - the Sphinxes especially, but just at this moment my mother and I are moving into a cottage - as my brother’s family is outgrowing this house, where I have lived the 39 years of my life - and we are in such difficulties how to stow away our belongings, especially in the way of pictures that we are really afraid to increase ... continue reading

My dear Maggie

What a great day to have your birthday upon. You cannot look to many returns of Holy Thursday upon it, so this will be all the more to remember, but I wish you many, many more happy returns. Thank you and Mamma for your curl. I shall have quite enough now I send you one of the brooches made to a pattern of Mary Queen of Scots which I saw at Edinburgh ... continue reading
