Title	9 October 1851 Henrietta Crofts at 7 Kings Parade [Bristol] to Fanny Lace. She will know by now from Aunt Mary that they will not be journeying north this year. Would not hesitate if could conveniently leave home - when in a smaller house and living in less expense writer shall be much better able to do as she likes and not then obliged to study economy. If she and H could pay them a quiet visit after they are married, they should like this very much. Hopes to give her a desk and workbox which will be useful - but not to raise her expectations very high as they will not be a la exhibition nor anything grand. Must be very busy - thinks she is wise to furnish herself with good stock of useful things. Quite sorry that her papa and mama cannot bring themselves to talk to her about her future prospects. H would be a great comfort to her as well as themselves. Convinced parting would be less bitter if they could often now talk calmly and unreservedly with her. Will keenly feel her going for she has been a good and dutiful daughter and deservedly dearly loved by them.
