TRANSCRIPT:
Alderley Park, Chelford, Cheshire
Sunday.
Darling I spoke to father & he was very sweet to me, in spite of his great distaste for the whole thing. I told him I thought of being married on the 26th. If we are to be married then I think you should now at once see about getting a licence as I’ve an idea it takes 3 weeks or a fortnight.
Anthony & Oliver are going to be my trustees! Papa has made me put my whole vast fortune into settlement so we shant be able to speculate with it as freely as I’d hoped, or at all!
Mother comes up Tuesday for a little and then again the following week. I shall see you at lunch, & we’ll go to Folkestone in the afternoon.
I am sorry to-day couldnt be managed but he’s been so good we must do everything we can to make it easy for him, never to force him to go further than he means, so that after he will have to withdraw. He is in excellent spirits tho’ and now that he’s got over his disagreeable interview quite delicious to me. He hates these personal conversations quite as much as I do.
Love

I enclose the letter
