My dear Mr. Hennell,
Thank you for sending me the good news 514 so soon and for sympathizing in my need of encouragement. I have all I want now and shall go forward on buoyant wing. I am glad for the work's sake, glad for your sake, and glad for [the honourable gentleman's] sake, that matters have turned out so well.
Pray think no more of my pens, ink and paper. I would gladly give much more towards the work than these and my English if I could do so consistently with duty.
Pray give my kindest remembrances to both the Mrs. Hennells and believe me
Yours very truly
Mary Ann Evans.
