GE to John Sibree, Foleshill, [14 October 1845]
MS: Miss Mary Kirby. Hitherto unpublished.
Foleshill | Tuesday morning.
In the hurry of setting off suddenly for Scotland Miss Evans is anxious to express to Mr. J. Sibree her real gratitude for his prompt and efficient attention to her request. She is more obliged than her haste will allow her to tell. She has this moment received his second note for which she thanks him, and will give the notes a thorough examination on her return, so as to be able to avail herself of Mr. J. Sibree's kindness should any further question arise respecting them.
Miss E. is ashamed to send so hasty an acknowledgment of a great favour but she is standing for the two or three minutes which are left her for writing and is afraid of leaving twenty things undone.
