Notes
a. Note:   N20 -----------------------------------
 The following is a transcript of a letter from Ralph to his mother, presumably from boarding school.
                                        Preston, December 4th, 1857
  Dear Mother,
       Christmas is coming to dispel the gloom that reigns around us and to bring us glad tidings of plenty and prosperity. The news too from India is cheering. The great city of Delhi, the old capitol of the Mogul Emperors, has been rewon by British valour, and the brave garrison of Lucknow snatched from the jaws of death. Well may we be proud of our countrymen. Small bands of intrepid men, in a distant land, in a vast region, and surrounded by myriads of armed foes, display an energy and a fortitude that astonish the world. heir deeds of daring may well be compared with those of the heroes of ancient times. England is putting forth her strength, and sending an army to reconquer India, such as she has never before sent to a foreign shore.
       In the meantime we are peacefully and calmly persuing our studies and imbuing our minds with learning. I hope that by my good conduct, I shall be able to please you. I intend to devote a considerable portion of each evening to the learning of my tasks. The walls of our school are adorned with many new and beautiful maps. The school holydays begin on December 24th and end on January 11th. Wishing you a happy Christmas and that you may live and enjoy good health for very many years.
 I remain,
 your affectionate son.
 Ralph Smith
