                <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>

                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#CraikGeorge">Papa's</persName>. – Yours – via
                        <placeName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Shortlands">Shortlands</placeName> -
                    reached us yesterday. I am glad my darling is so happy &amp; well – <persName
                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Katherine">Katherine</persName> in a letter she sent
                    me from her <persName>Uncle Morris</persName> – about poor <persName
                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Pixie">Pixie</persName> – said you looked extremely
                    well. – I am glad you like <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Daisy"
                        >Daisy</persName> so much – &amp; she ought to be a bridesmaid – but I don't
                    think that should hinder <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#HuntGladysHolman"
                        >Gladys</persName>. The child would be sorely disappointed – &amp; her
                    mother much hurt – she would think <persName
                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#HuntGladysHolman">Gladys</persName> was slighted on
                    account of Deceased wife's sister feelings – on the part perhaps of <persName
                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#PilkingtonAlexander">Alexander</persName> &amp; his
                    people – a very sore thing. – You can have the two Katherines – <persName
                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Lily">Lily</persName> &amp; <persName
                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Daisy">Daisy</persName> – &amp; then the three <hi
                        rend="underline">little</hi> girls – if indeed <persName
                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#ColgateDorothy">Dorothy Colgate</persName> is big
                    enough to come at all – which I rather doubt – then <persName
                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#HuntGladysHolman">Gladys</persName> &amp; <persName
                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#DobellEva">Eva</persName> would make a pretty pair.
                    – Tell me about your plans for coming home – if it is about <persName
                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#PilkingtonGeorge">George's</persName> time, perhaps
                    he will bring you – &amp; stay a little time with us – which will break the
                    trouble to you – poor little girl! – in leaving them all – But if not –
                        <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#CraikGeorge">Papa</persName>, who is going
                    to <placeName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#AlderleyEdge">Alderley Edge</placeName> –
                    could so arrange as to meet you at <placeName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Holyhead"
                        >Holyhead</placeName> – only we ought to know a little while beforehand. –
                    We shall be home on Saturday 10<hi rend="superscript">th</hi> but about the
                        22<hi rend="superscript">nd</hi> I mean to go on another wander – to
                        <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#AingerAlfred">Canon Ainger's</persName> at
                        <placeName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Bristol">Bristol</placeName> – to

                            <persName><unclear>Mrs. Kellewill</unclear></persName> – about 9 miles
                    further – &amp; home by <placeName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Cheltenham"
                        >Cheltenham</placeName> – to stay with <persName
                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#DobellClarence">Clarence</persName> &amp; <persName
                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#DobellEmily">Emily</persName> while <persName
                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#CraikGeorge">Papa</persName> goes to <persName
                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#CraikWilliam">Uncle William's</persName> &amp; the
                    Manchester Exhibition – which would half-kill me, I think – &amp; so come home
                    before you arrive there. – Please let me know your plans in time to settle mine
                    – I don't mind to a day or two – my child – and I don't want you to cross in a
                    storm. – <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xlm#PilkingtonWilhelmina">Mrs.
                        Pilkington</persName> will arrange everything – I know. Give her my love –
                    &amp; say I shall be quite content with whatever she settles. ( – N.B. unlike
                    the <orgName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Harris">Harrises</orgName>!) You will be
                    surprised to hear where we are – staying from Saturday to Monday night with the
                        <orgName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#SpencerBell">Spencer Bell's</orgName>. – As
                    soon as she knew we were at <placeName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Keswick"
                        >Keswick</placeName> she asked us here – all four – <persName
                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#CraikGeorge">Papa</persName> – allured by "a man to
                    talk to" – <persName>General Lawrence</persName> – brother to <persName>Lord
                        Lawrence</persName> – of <placeName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#India"
                        >India</placeName>. Agreed at once – but the <orgName
                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Pike">Pikes</orgName> were in despair – however
                    after a gentle "piece of my mind" they saw their error &amp; consented – &amp;
                    are happy. – It is I think the loveliest house I ever was in – outside &amp;
                    inside – all hung with tapestry – heaps of old furniture – views magnificent. –
                    Everything "well-appointed" – lots of rooms – the drawing-room at the top of the
                    house – where I sit writing – the others being all at church – is a perfect
                    picture. From this window they saw the poor boy's boat turn over – they did not
                    find him for three days – Imagine what a three-days! – It was this week last
                    year it happened. – The mother is still broken-hearted – she talks of him to me
                    by the hour together. The girls are tolerably bright – the oldest was married
                    last July – but the poor mother will never get over it – her hands shake like an
                    old woman – &amp; she "meanders" sometimes in her talk – always about "<persName
                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#SpencerBellFrederick">Fred</persName>." – He must
                    have been a rarely good fellow – such a son &amp; brother – She seemed pleased
                    that you had liked him – &amp; asked a deal about you &amp; <persName
                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#PilkingtonAlexander">Alexander</persName> – I think
                    it is a comfort to her our being here – it helps to get over the dreadful week.
                    – The <orgName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Lawrence">Lawrence's</orgName> were here
                    when it happened – &amp; so come again this year. They are a nice old couple –
                    married at 21 &amp; 16 – (oh dear!!) – &amp; now about 70 &amp; 65. – <persName
                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#CraikGeorge">Papa</persName> met other friends –
                        <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#OliphantMargaret">Mrs. Oliphant</persName>
                    &amp; all her family are close by - &amp; <persName>Professor

                        >Archbishop's</persName> brother-in-law – is at our hotel – and in

                    we met <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#MissStoddart">Miss Stoddart</persName>
                    – <persName>Miss Price</persName> – &amp; <persName>Mary</persName>! – all went

                        Water</placeName> together. – The housekeeper at <placeName

                    were half-starved – but got rested &amp; extremely well – was a <persName>Miss

                    – &amp; knew me well from the <orgName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Stewart"
                        >Stewarts</orgName> there. – The German companion of the <orgName
                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#SpencerBell">Spencer Bell</orgName> girls whom they
                    are extremely fond of - &amp; treat like one of themselves – is the nice
