Summary
The conclusion to a letter from Jemima Lloyd to Wilhelm Bleek, sent from Croydon, England, on 4 January 1862, with this final instalment written on 5 January. She explains her use of a large envelope and separate enclosure, fearing her words might fall into the wrong hands. She asks if her letter was too long or too full of feelings for him to read comfortably. She describes dividing it into two parts-one written before his declaration/proposal letter, the other after. She reports on her improved health, provides instructions for directing his letters through Mrs Fisher, and notes with relief that the Sandersons are in London after earlier worrying about their silence.
