            <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>

               quite old enough – my child – to know what sorrow is – &amp; how we must bear it –
               &amp; can do so – by being brave &amp; patient – &amp; giving other people as little

               perfectly content – with her white flowers – &amp; the jessamine I brought out of our

               for many many years – don’t let the blinds be pulled down – don’t let there be any
               gloom – or any violent grief – I <hi rend="underline">like</hi> people to be happy –

               had sent him any message – &amp; expected one – He would be pleased if you wrote –
               &amp; said you were sorry for him – in some tender way – Tell <persName

               her letter – he said “it was quite like those girls – always doing the right &amp;
