My dear ]Miss Sewell

I have been from home or I would have answered sooner. I send you a pound for the poor woman—which I hope may help her on a little while.

Pray thank the Warden greatly for his very kind messages through Mr Wither. If my friend Miss Peard can come, I am sure you will like her. She is an excellent singer among other perfections, and full of life and brightness. I think ... continue reading

My dear Cousin, I must not leave your letter of last October without an instalment of an answer, though this is only a chance opportunity of sending letters by a whaler, and I have only ten minutes.

Your account of the Southampton Congress is a regular picture. I think I can see the Bishops of Winton, Sarum, and Oxon; and all that you say by way of comment on what is going on in the Church at ... continue reading

My dear Miss Bourne Gertrude is very thankful for the snowdrops and much pleased. Yes, Frances is still about, and at this moment I have Florence Wilford here, she has been nearly killed with nursing the two old ladies at St Cross, and is here now collecting a little strength, I hope, I do not quite know for how long. I seem to have all visiting disorganized this year, and now some evening Wednesday ... continue reading

My dear Miss Sewell, Would you mind my changing the time of your proposed session to the later day you had fixed. I am asked to spend a day or two at Mr Portal’s to meet the Bishop on the 10th, and that is a thing I should like so much to do that I venture to ask you to change the day. The week after I go to Miss Dyson.

My dear Arthur Arianwen means silver lady. She was a Welsh saint and the name has never quite died out in Wales, so I suppose the girl has Welsh belongings of some sort. Arian rhod a silver bow is the rain bow, who scares away spirits of wrath there is a charming bit about her in old Davis’s Celtic researches which nobody believes now. Alas!

My dear Mrs Johns Thank you for your kind note. The second part of the little book is already half way printed - so I hope it will be ready the time the first is finished.

My dear Mr West I shall be delighted to see you and any of your party on Saturday. I hope we shall look to as much advantage as we are doing on this May day of the poets – The Hursley services are at 10 AM and 7 PM on Saturdays, ours at 9 AM and 5 PM – rather impracticable hours I fear as regards Hursley.

My dear Mrs Johns Thank you for your kind note. The second part of the little book is already half way printed - so I hope it will be ready the time the first is finished.

My dear ]Miss Sewell

I have been from home or I would have answered sooner. I send you a pound for the poor woman—which I hope may help her on a little while.

Pray thank the Warden greatly for his very kind messages through Mr Wither. If my friend Miss Peard can come, I am sure you will like her. She is an excellent singer among other perfections, and full of life and brightness. I think ... continue reading

My dear Cousin, I must not leave your letter of last October without an instalment of an answer, though this is only a chance opportunity of sending letters by a whaler, and I have only ten minutes.

Your account of the Southampton Congress is a regular picture. I think I can see the Bishops of Winton, Sarum, and Oxon; and all that you say by way of comment on what is going on in the Church at ... continue reading

Yes, Frances is still about, and at this moment I have Florence Wilford here, she has been nearly killed with nursing the two old ladies at St Cross, and is here now collecting a little strength, I hope, I do not quite know for how long.

Yes, Frances is still about, and at this moment I have Florence Wilford here, she has been nearly killed with nursing the two old ladies at St Cross, and is here now collecting a little strength, I hope, I do not quite know for how long. I seem to have all visiting disorganized this year, and now some evening Wednesday ... continue reading

My dear Miss Sewell, Would you mind my changing the time of your proposed session to the later day you had fixed. I am asked to spend a day or two at Mr Portal’s to meet the Bishop on the 10th, and that is a thing I should like so much to do that I venture to ask you to change the day. The week after I go to Miss Dyson.

My dear Arthur Arianwen means silver lady. She was a Welsh saint and the name has never quite died out in Wales, so I suppose the girl has Welsh belongings of some sort.

My dear ]Miss Sewell

I have been from home or I would have answered sooner. I send you a pound for the poor woman—which I hope may help her on a little while.

Pray thank the Warden greatly for his very kind messages through Mr Wither. If my friend Miss Peard can come, I am sure you will like her. She is an excellent singer among other perfections, and full of life and brightness. I think ... continue reading

My dear Cousin, I must not leave your letter of last October without an instalment of an answer, though this is only a chance opportunity of sending letters by a whaler, and I have only ten minutes.

I have been from home or I would have answered sooner. I send you a pound for the poor woman—which I hope may help her on a little while.

Pray thank the Warden greatly for his very kind messages through Mr Wither. If my friend Miss Peard can come, I am sure you will like her. She is an excellent singer among other perfections, and full of life and brightness. I think ... continue reading

My dear Cousin, I must not leave your letter of last October without an instalment of an answer, though this is only a chance opportunity of sending letters by a whaler, and I have only ten minutes.

I have been from home or I would have answered sooner. I send you a pound for the poor woman—which I hope may help her on a little while.

Pray thank the Warden greatly for his very kind messages through Mr Wither. If my friend Miss Peard can come, I am sure you will like her. She is an excellent singer among other perfections, and full of life and brightness. I think ... continue reading

My dear Cousin, I must not leave your letter of last October without an instalment of an answer, though this is only a chance opportunity of sending letters by a whaler, and I have only ten minutes.

My dear Mr West I shall be delighted to see you and any of your party on Saturday. I hope we shall look to as much advantage as we are doing on this May day of the poets – The Hursley services are at 10 AM and 7 PM on Saturdays, ours at 9 AM and 5 PM – rather impracticable hours I fear as regards Hursley.

My dear Mrs Johns Thank you for your kind note. The second part of the little book is already half way printed - so I hope it will be ready the time the first is finished.

I have been from home or I would have answered sooner. I send you a pound for the poor woman—which I hope may help her on a little while.

Pray thank the Warden greatly for his very kind messages through Mr Wither. If my friend Miss Peard can come, I am sure you will like her. She is an excellent singer among other perfections, and full of life and brightness. I think ... continue reading

My dear Cousin, I must not leave your letter of last October without an instalment of an answer, though this is only a chance opportunity of sending letters by a whaler, and I have only ten minutes.

Your account of the Southampton Congress is a regular picture. I think I can see the Bishops of Winton, Sarum, and Oxon; and all that you say by way of comment on what is going on in the Church at ... continue reading

Yes, Frances is still about, and at this moment I have Florence Wilford here, she has been nearly killed with nursing the two old ladies at St Cross, and is here now collecting a little strength, I hope, I do not quite know for how long.

My dear Miss Sewell, Would you mind my changing the time of your proposed session to the later day you had fixed. I am asked to spend a day or two at Mr Portal’s to meet the Bishop on the 10th, and that is a thing I should like so much to do that I venture to ask you to change the day. The week after I go to Miss Dyson.

I have been from home or I would have answered sooner. I send you a pound for the poor woman—which I hope may help her on a little while.

Pray thank the Warden greatly for his very kind messages through Mr Wither. If my friend Miss Peard can come, I am sure you will like her. She is an excellent singer among other perfections, and full of life and brightness. I think ... continue reading

My dear ]Miss Sewell

I have been from home or I would have answered sooner. I send you a pound for the poor woman—which I hope may help her on a little while.

Pray thank the Warden greatly for his very kind messages through Mr Wither. If my friend Miss Peard can come, I am sure you will like her. She is an excellent singer among other perfections, and full of life and brightness. I think ... continue reading

My dear Cousin, I must not leave your letter of last October without an instalment of an answer, though this is only a chance opportunity of sending letters by a whaler, and I have only ten minutes.

The week after I go to Miss Dyson.

My dear Mr West I shall be delighted to see you and any of your party on Saturday. I hope we shall look to as much advantage as we are doing on this May day of the poets – The Hursley services are at 10 AM and 7 PM on Saturdays, ours at 9 AM and 5 PM – rather impracticable hours I fear as regards Hursley.

My dear ]Miss Sewell

I have been from home or I would have answered sooner. I send you a pound for the poor woman—which I hope may help her on a little while.

Pray thank the Warden greatly for his very kind messages through Mr Wither. If my friend Miss Peard can come, I am sure you will like her. She is an excellent singer among other perfections, and full of life and brightness. I think ... continue reading

My dear Cousin, I must not leave your letter of last October without an instalment of an answer, though this is only a chance opportunity of sending letters by a whaler, and I have only ten minutes.

Your account of the Southampton Congress is a regular picture. I think I can see the Bishops of Winton, Sarum, and Oxon; and all that you say by way of comment on what is going on in the Church at ... continue reading

Yes, Frances is still about, and at this moment I have Florence Wilford here, she has been nearly killed with nursing the two old ladies at St Cross, and is here now collecting a little strength, I hope, I do not quite know for how long.

My dear Mr West I shall be delighted to see you and any of your party on Saturday. I hope we shall look to as much advantage as we are doing on this May day of the poets – The Hursley services are at 10 AM and 7 PM on Saturdays, ours at 9 AM and 5 PM – rather impracticable hours I fear as regards Hursley.

My dear Mrs Johns Thank you for your kind note. The second part of the little book is already half way printed - so I hope it will be ready the time the first is finished.

I have been from home or I would have answered sooner. I send you a pound for the poor woman—which I hope may help her on a little while.

Pray thank the Warden greatly for his very kind messages through Mr Wither. If my friend Miss Peard can come, I am sure you will like her. She is an excellent singer among other perfections, and full of life and brightness. I think ... continue reading

My dear Cousin, I must not leave your letter of last October without an instalment of an answer, though this is only a chance opportunity of sending letters by a whaler, and I have only ten minutes.

Your account of the Southampton Congress is a regular picture. I think I can see the Bishops of Winton, Sarum, and Oxon; and all that you say by way of comment on what is going on in the Church at ... continue reading

Yes, Frances is still about, and at this moment I have Florence Wilford here, she has been nearly killed with nursing the two old ladies at St Cross, and is here now collecting a little strength, I hope, I do not quite know for how long.

My dear Miss Sewell, Would you mind my changing the time of your proposed session to the later day you had fixed. I am asked to spend a day or two at Mr Portal’s to meet the Bishop on the 10th, and that is a thing I should like so much to do that I venture to ask you to change the day. The week after I go to Miss Dyson.

I have been from home or I would have answered sooner. I send you a pound for the poor woman—which I hope may help her on a little while.

Pray thank the Warden greatly for his very kind messages through Mr Wither. If my friend Miss Peard can come, I am sure you will like her. She is an excellent singer among other perfections, and full of life and brightness. I think ... continue reading

My dear ]Miss Sewell

I have been from home or I would have answered sooner. I send you a pound for the poor woman—which I hope may help her on a little while.

Pray thank the Warden greatly for his very kind messages through Mr Wither. If my friend Miss Peard can come, I am sure you will like her. She is an excellent singer among other perfections, and full of life and brightness. I think ... continue reading

My dear Cousin, I must not leave your letter of last October without an instalment of an answer, though this is only a chance opportunity of sending letters by a whaler, and I have only ten minutes.

The week after I go to Miss Dyson.
