JWC TO ELIZABETH GASKELL

[16 September 1851]

My dear Mrs Gaskell

I was going over myself to tell you that Mr C shall be delivered at your door tonight about ten—as I calculate, barring accidents—but Geraldine wont let me for fear of laying myself up again. I have had a quite severe bout of cold, and feel now that the fever is gone, as if I had just returned from the Thirty years war—so wearied and dilapidated!

I shall see you tomorrow morning however before we start for Alderley1—

Yours affectionately

Jane Carlyle
