GE to Fanny [Mrs. Henry] Houghton, [London, 17 January 1853]
MS: Mr. Percival Robert Allen.
Monday Morning.
My dear Fanny
I have been and am very poorly or I should have written to you on Saturday. Thank you for your note with its news and kind words, which were very welcome. I hope to be able to go down to Chrissey for a week by and bye. I wish you would learn from her or ask her to tell me, when I should be of the greatest use -- whether she would like me to be with her when she is moving? 150
As I have this prospect, I shall not send a parcel, but wait till I can be my own carrier. When shall you be obliged to leave her? How nice it would be to have a chat with you once more. Best love to all the dear ones. 151 Ever, dear Fanny,
Your affectionate sister
Marian Evans.

Marian Evans.
