My Darling,
Words cannot express my thankfulness at your success, and release from anxiety. I did not fear because I did not see why they should be unjust, but I am more than glad that it is settled.
I ought to have scolded you some days ago for more grapes. I am very forgetful, and I really sleep so well that I do not require them.
Well, dear, I am quite unsettled with the good news. Hoping to meet so soon, and with great congratulations from Tom, and Hetty, and Carry, and more love than a letter will take, ever your loving Mother,
Maria Emily Jex-Blake.
