                <p>People writing kind letters must be glad to know how welcomely they come: – I had
                    been very dull one day for <add place="above">of</add> all things, waiting
                    patiently is hardest – especially <mod type="subst"><del rend="overwrite"><gap

                    hope depends upon his getting work. Tonight I feel as if life was a little less
                    difficult to <add place="above"><unclear reason="illegible">bear</unclear> &amp; to</add> be good
                    in. I am very thankful to <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#KingsleyCharles">Mr.
                        Kingsley</persName> &amp; you – </p>
                <p>I have <add place="above">long</add> looked up to him as one of our great men –
                    but that is nothing. I feel he is good. he helps one to be good. It is certainly
                    very superfluous to say this to his wife – <mod type="subst"><del rend="overwrite"><gap
                            quantity="1" unit="word"/></del><add place="inline">But</add></mod> I have – a
                    certain satisfaction in it – it seems like acknowledging a debt which is
                    absolutely unpayable – </p>
                <p>You will get a new novel next year – if please God my health holds up to finish
                    it in reasonable time. I am very glad you like my books. </p>
                <p>Will you say to your husband how much I thank him – &amp; <persName
