            <p>Our aim in this edition has been to transcribe the content of the letters as
               accurately as possible without reproducing the physical appearance of the manuscript.
               Craik’s spelling, punctuation, underlining, superscripts, abbreviations, additions
               and deletions are retained, except for words which are hyphenated at the end of a
               line, which we have silently emended. Where Craik uses a non-standard spelling, we
               have encoded both her spelling and the standard Oxford English Dictionary spelling to
               faciliate searching. The long s is not encoded.</p>

            <p>You seldom get a letter from mother – &amp; I hope you seldom will. For I can't bear

               will go well – &amp; you will be a capable house-mistress – pro-tern – &amp; take

            <p> – I had the carriage to myself till <placeName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Chatham"
                  >Chatham</placeName>. &amp; then a throng came in – But next station the benign
               guard – the "beautiful" one – put his head in – "You're for <placeName
                  ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Dover">Dover</placeName> Ma'am? Change here" – I obeyed,
               very much puzzled – &amp; he put me in a 1<hi rend="superscript">st</hi> class

               up talking till midnight – &amp; then I slept till 7.a.m – hardly any pain – which

               has painted &amp; papered in nearly every bit with his own hands – &amp; the harmony
               of the colors is "sweet" – It reflects the greatest credit on all <hi

                  ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#PikeBel">Bel</persName> – &amp; I long for them to see it.
               – The smell of paint is not quite away – so I am glad I came alone – but it is much
               more in order than I expected – indeed a very little will make it quite complete –
               &amp; one of the prettiest little houses you ever did see. – There was a grand
               military show yesterday – thousands of troops &amp; great big guns – marched past the
               door – &amp; the <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#DukeOfCambridge">Duke of

               &amp; then we shall get over the inside of the Castle when next we come. – </p>

               &amp; grown so tall &amp; so pretty – &amp; <persName
                  ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#DyasonJane">Mrs. Dyason</persName> says she "never was
               better." – but they were ill during the painting more or less. However they enjoy it
               all now – <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#DyasonJane">Mrs. Dyason</persName> says
               she felt as if it was her own house. &amp; is so proud of it – as well she may be.
               for she has managed wonderfully to get straight &amp; done everything in the best
               possible way. – Carpets are all down – &amp; look so nice – especially yours – which
               is the only quite new – we shall put up the <placeName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Arran"
               />Arran curtains in your room – &amp; then it will be complete. I am going now to
               choose the stair-carpet – it is a lovely day – &amp; I feel quite bright. – I do love
                  <placeName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Dover">Dover</placeName> air. – </p>
            <p>One sad thing grieves <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#DyasonJane">Mrs.
                  Dyason</persName> sorely – You remember <persName>Aunt
                     <unclear>Frances's</unclear></persName>
               <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#MulockFrances">Fanny</persName> – who married a
               soldier &amp; stayed here with her mother – &amp; <persName
                  ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#DyasonJane">Mrs. Dyason</persName> has her to help on all
               occasions. – Ten days ago the soldier – who is stationed at <placeName
                  ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Alderney">Alderney</placeName> – in the <placeName
                  ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#ChannelIslands">Channel Islands</placeName> – went out
               sailing with two others – &amp; they have never come back. – The Colonel of the
               regiment wrote so kindly – saying he did not believe they were drowned – but probably
               carried out to sea <add place="above"><metamark place="below" function="insertion"
                     rend="caret"/> – they had a sail – </add> &amp; picked up by some foreign
               vessel – but meanwhile nothing has been heard of them – &amp; the poor thing waits –
               in despair not knowing whether she is a widow or not. – It is like <title
                  ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#EnochArden">Enoch Arden</title>. – They think as the sea
               between the Islands is so narrow – if the boat had capsized there would have been
               oars – or dead bodies – or something – drifted ashore – but nothing ever has been
               seen. – </p>
            <p>Now I must go out – having no end of things to do. – You will get this tonight – Love
               to all – Tell <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#CraikGeorge">Papa</persName> I am
               very anxious about the new Noble animal. – say to <persName
                  ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#KeeneJohn">Keene</persName> to meet me at 1.17 at
