GE to Fanny [Mrs. Henry] Houghton, [Foleshill, 25? May 1848]
MS: Miss Dorothy Evans. Hitherto unpublished.
My dear Fanny
Father has made more decided progress during the last four or five days -- He is really gaining strength, walks more firmly, and is comparatively free from languor. We have determined to set off to St. Leonard's on Monday, so if you want to see us -- as we always do to see you -- you must come before then. We sent Henry's cheques yesterday, as they came too late for insertion in our post despatch.
Your affectionate
Mary Ann
