I was partly disappointed by this answer, and partly gratified; indeed, I derived quite an impulse of encouragement from the warm assurance that if I had but applied a little sooner they would certainly have sent me their daughter.

I own I had misgivings that nobody would be willing to send a child for education to Haworth.

These misgivings are partly done away with.

I have written also to Mrs.B., and have enclosed the diploma which M.Heger gave me before I left Brussels.

I have not yet received her answer, but I wait for it with some anxiety.
