My dear Alice,
I wrote instantly to thank Dr. Moberly for his good news, but the cart was missed on Sunday morning. Tell us if Margaret has seen the brother1, and what she said of him, and tell us who the boy is like and whether he is large or small, dark or fair. Three days of well-doing make us think you will soon be ready for ‘Heartsease’; there will be plenty for you to begin upon. I am bent upon Charlotte seeing all she can of Bishop Selwyn, and trust to Dr. Moberly to manage it for her, and must have her see Mrs. Selwyn somehow.

1Selwyn William Moberly (1854-1871), seventh son and youngest of the Moberlys' fifteen children, was christened on 8 June 1854.
