Garden Corner, West Road, Cambridge. - It is a 'real joy' that Bessie is pleased about 'the great event' [her engagement]; is happy that all her 'favourite [emphasised] relations' are sure to love the man she is going to marry. Does not think Bessie has ever met him, since he has only once been to her home; 'the rest of the business was done by correspondence at Hallington' and the proposal was last Friday at Bolton Abbey; describes his character and appearance; he is 'so small it is quite absurd, but very well-made and strong and has curly hair like Humphry. Thinks they will probably marry this time next year, since they want to finish their books first.
