            <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> I got <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Margery">Margery's</persName> letter &amp;
               yours just before I left home yesterday. &amp; am greatly disbelieved at <persName
                  ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Margery">Margery's</persName> having to go before her two
               months are out. – I did so want her to have that long rest – it is quite essential
               that she should rest. However we will not argue the point now. She must stay as long
               as she possibly can. – </p>
            <p>I am so pleased at all your letters my child – they are so sensible &amp; so nicely
               written – only one mistake in spelling. Which <persName

               to <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#CraikGeorge">papa</persName> – as soon as you
               get this. I am sure he was hurt at never even being named – tho' you sent a kiss to

                  <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#TennysonAlfred">Tennyson</persName> – who was

               read <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#CraikGeorge">Papa</persName> a lot of new
               poetry – which is splendid – He said--“And how is the little maiden that I know – how
               old is she now – &amp; have you ever heard anything about her?” – <persName
                  ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#CraikGeorge">Papa</persName> said no – &amp; he answered –
               “Well – perhaps she's a duke's daughter! – but it doesn't matter – it doesn't matter”
               – It was nice his remembering you so well – but <persName
                  ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#CraikGeorge">papa</persName> was greatly struck with his
               wonderful tenderness &amp; thoughtfulness – It was his 76th birthday – &amp; he
               talked a great deal about the other world – “I <hi rend="underline">know</hi> there
               is another world” – he said many times – <persName
                  ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#CraikGeorge">Papa</persName> says the whole visit was most
               interesting – I have had rather a handful with poor <persName

               – the result of her hard life – but I left her better – &amp; everybody is very kind
