                <p>I would fain please you not only in intention but in effect. I tried the <rs
                        type="title">Desert</rs> again this morning – will this do if not too late?
                    It is quite different to the other which was an allegory from beginning to end –
                    &amp; never meant to <mod type="subst"><del rend="strikethrough">meddle with</del>
                    <add place="above">introduce</add></mod> camel-drivers, Arabs, or any thing of the

                    that you don’t like it – he hates it himself! – Poor thing! but I suppose no
                    good could come of it – being copiously written in your pew during a sermon of
                        <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#IronsWilliamJosiah">Mr.
                    Irons</persName>!</p>
                <p>I am amused at <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#HallSamuelCarter">Mr.
                        Hall</persName>’s sudden falling in love with Dryads – Oreads &amp;c – I did
                    the rural myself pretty well – at <placeName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Dover"
                        >Dover</placeName> it was very nice – but how can you have the heart to give
                    up that dear house. I wish some good fairy would give me <measure
                        type="currency">£1000</measure> a year &amp; let me step in after you –
                    seizing a garden, mulberry-tree &amp; all – I must come &amp; see both soon – Of
                    course only regarding you in the light of an incidental blessing.</p>
