My dearest Fanny
I was so glad to have Edws's nice letter and your little note and hear that you both felt better. Harry and I hope to reach London tomorrow, about 4 o'clock, mother is not quite herself yet, but better, and thinks herself I had better secure this week at any rate, instead of putting off, and any how I think you would have wished for Harry this week, because for the last 10 days, about, we have again not been getting on so well at night - Harriet has never heard another word from her dentist, so has dismissed it for the present, he, prudent man, being out for a holiday, gave no address but Edinburgh.
Very best love to all, from your ever loving sister.
C. Liveing
We have had a comfortable note from poor Mary.
On two sides of notepaper endorsed in blue pencil in another hand "Autumn 1871"
The recipient of this letter is a mystery Charlotte's hand is adult she was 5 when her sister Fanny died, possibly to Fanny her neice, then (1871), still unmarried?

My dear Edw'
I did not write yesterday as there seemed nothing to say, but increasing weakness, & that is just what it is - we have had another very quiet night, but she no longer attempts to speak, only opens her eyes & holds our hands when we change attendance on her, & still knows what we say I think - Dr Hope calls every day, but as he says, does not desire to disturb her in any way, yesterday he just went up into the room & looked at her.
Your loving sister

My dear Edw'
Soon after I had posted to you this morning Dr Hope came and went upstairs & told me he did not think his patient had 24 hours to live, but before 4pm the end came, so very quietly I had only just time to ring for the maids, in fact she only ceased to live & it was a most peaceable end to life here - so now I am writing notes to all - she never directed me nor anyone else that I am aware of, as to where she

wished to rest, so I always concluded here, but if you think otherwise, you will perhaps wire me to that effect - I shall send for the evening letters now every day - no new graves are allowed around the church, the additional burying ground is not far from the Vicarage I think - you & George will doubtless arrange what day would suit you best for the funeral. I am asking him in my note to communicate direct with you - I have just looked in the dear old Bible for her birth, in case you might want the date for a notice in the Times - it was 9^th of July 1822. Her will is in William Beaumont's safe keeping.
Your ever very affectionate sister
C Liveing.

Inserted in Times December 14, 1888 but Chobham misprinted Cobham & therefore reinserted in Times of 15th correctly.
