Happy Easter for all of you

TO MISS ELLEN NUSSEY

'_Tuesday Morning_.

'I cannot accept your kind invitation. I must be at home at Easter, on two or three accounts connected with sermons to be preached, parsons to be entertained, Mechanics' Institute meetings and tea-drinkings to be solemnised, and ere long I have promised to go and see Mrs. Gaskell; but till this wintry weather is passed, I would rather eschew visiting anywhere. I trust that bad cold of yours is _quite_ well, and that you will take good care of yourself in future. That night work is always perilous.--Yours faithfully,

'C. BRONTE.' charlotte-bronte
