Love to Mamie, if she has come home, and to Bouncer, if she has come; also Marguerite, who I hope is by this time much better.
Ever, my dear Georgy, your most affectionate.
Mrs. Henry Austin.
Gad's Hill, Sunday, Nov. 3rd, 1861.
EXTRACT.
I am heartily glad to hear that you have been out in the air, and I hope you will go again very soon and make a point of continuing to go. There is a soothing influence in the sight of the earth and sky, which God put into them for our relief when He made the world in which we are all to suffer, and strive, and die.
I will not fail to write to you from many points of my tour, and if you ever want to write to me you may be sure of a quick response, and may be certain that I am sympathetic and true.
Ever affectionately.
Miss Dickens.
