My very dear Child,
This comes first to say that, to my very great relief, I found this morning the two letters in a drawer in which I myself had specially lodged them for safe keeping, and herewith they come, saving something to myself which he would not perhaps like to have shewn.1 How precious it all is, and what thoughts it brings over one (among others) of one’s own ways. . . . We wish your dear mother, and the two households with their belongings, a happy new year and many of them.
Yours very affly.
