With kindest regards, my dear Mrs. Gaskell,
Faithfully yours always.

My dear Harness,
Yes. The book came from me. I could not put a memorandum to that effect on the title-page, in consequence of my being here.
I am heartily glad you like it. I know the piece you mention, but am far from being convinced by it. A great misgiving is upon me, that in many things (this thing among the rest) too many are martyrs to our complacency and satisfaction, and that we must give up something thereof for their poor sakes.
My kindest regards to your sister, and my love (if I may send it) to another of your relations.
Always, very faithfully yours.
Mr. Henry Austin.
