Ewell. Oct. 18. [1851]
My dearest Marianne,
The thought you're your being "anxious" give me so much anxiety to myself, that I cannot let a post go this morning without giving you all the solace I can by saying how completely you explanation about the books, &c. has done away any little uncomfortableness that may have forced an indication of itself upon
[continued on top of first page]
nothing to what I have already said about Percy, because I trust that by this time it will have given practical relief to all parties, & that no more misconceptions need happen.
Your ever loving husband
L.H.

Ewell. Oct. 18. [1851] My dearest Marianne, The thought you’re your being “anxious” give me so much anxiety to myself, that I cannot let a post go this morning without giving you all the solace I can by saying how completely you explanation about the books, &c. has done away any little uncomfortableness that may have forced an indication of itself upon my otherwise entirely cheerful as well as tender expressions towards you. I give you many thanks & embraces. I do not expect a letter every day, knowing how you are tied to your chair and cannot command even carriers of it to the post. I write, to be sure, one myself; but that is an old habit of mine, which I am not always sure of being the best, since one neglect of its delivery on the part of the post-office might render its non-appearance a real distress. Should such a circumstance at any time occur, pray be sure that it will be owing to no other cause; for I can write a letter to you, when I have not wit enough in my brain to squeeze out a word on any other occasion; so if ever a letter of mine should not come, conclude that either the Kensington or the Ewell post-office is in fault. Remember what I have often told you, --that the post is really not to be so entirely depended upon as people think. The postman here has repeatedly brought us another letter after he has delivered his first, saying he had overlooked it. Meantime, as I said before, I shall be quite content, sometimes with a letter, & sometimes with an address on a newspaper; & should neither happen to come, I shall be cheerfully confident that there has been a hitch in the gait of Catherine of Elizabeth or somebody, & that it will come next day. I add [continued on top of first page] nothing to what I have already said about Percy, because I trust that by this time it will have given practical relief to all parties, & that no more misconceptions need happen . Your ever loving husband L.H. |
