Dear Mr. Harrison
I must write to tell you my joy that on further study of your "document" I find in it precisely the case that will suit the conditions I had already prepared. I mean the case that "Sir H. might ardently desire a particular house and property, locally part of the settled estates or not, to leave to his widow and daughters for their home and residence, etc." 275 Clearly I have a special Providence to whom my gratitude is due, and he is the able conveyancer who has drawn up said document.
We are in the pangs of preparation for starting to-morrow morning. 276
Always yours sincerely,
M. E. Lewes.
