GE to Sara Sophia Hennell, Meriden, 24 December [1850]
MS: Yale. Endorsed: 1850. Hitherto unpublished.
Meriden | December 24th.
All Christmas blessings to you dear Sara. The other morning as I was lying in bed I had a clear revelation of my own deficiencies towards you, and of the justice of your feelings. This, like all other self-insight comes too late but it is an irresistible impulse to tell you of it. I hope you got home without railway misadventures. 906
Ever thine
Pollian.
Mr. Slack refuses to print the answer to Dr. Beard! 907
