Book!Theon is Azor!Ahai, not Jon. It makes no sense narratively for Jon to be AA, and it’s the most stereotypical thing ever, and he’s already stereotypical, he’s the red flag for the audience. Theon’s chapters are full of hints, he has the perfect salt/smoke/stars/dragons thing at the end of ACOK, when he “dies”. His story is about destroying death, his entire narrative, with things that come from mythology and ancient literature, points to that. The show is trash, but don’t you think that it’s a little weird that Theon is there at the end and then Arya comes out of nowhere and becomes AA? And what ending does she get? Exploring the unknown SEA with SHIPS? Being free and on her own? Maybe it doesn’t make sense for her because it’s not for her. D&D already took everything else from Theon, they took this too. And even if he’s not AA, he’s still clearly connected to magic and all of that, he didn’t go though so much for nothing, he didn’t take his name back for the first time in his life, his name that literally means “godly”, for nothing. He has something big to do, and it’s about himself, not Robb and the Starks. And he’s also so clearly connected to the politics of the north and of the iron islands, a villain was literally created for him, so I don’t understand how can you say he’s not really important and all he’s got left to do is retire in a house and be sad. Of course he has a lot of trauma and that’s important, but I don’t like how people reduce him to that and act like just because those things happened, he can’t do anything else

anon with no ill will and I swear I don't want to sound pedantic or anything but I, uh, never came to the conclusion you say I came from - that said let's go in order even if I think I already went through all the reasons why it makes literally no sense if it's anyone but jon, but let's start with one thing:

It makes no sense narratively for Jon to be AA, and it’s the most stereotypical thing ever, and he’s already stereotypical, he’s the red flag for the audience.

it's stereotypical.... to us maybe, but it is not to westeros. like, you're looking at it through audience-lens because it has been years and the show confirmed r+l=j and we all figured that shit out, but to westeros, the idea that the prince that was promised is a bastard guy serving on the wall aka a state-sponsored prison where people go to not die and is filled to non-desirables to society is... the least likely option in existence? no really, but again:

first thing that should quiet all doubts, when melisandre asks r'hollor to see azor ahai bc she wants to see stannis, r'hollor shows her jon snow and instead of going like 'uh wait why am I seeing another dude' she's like 'I want to see stannis but r'hollor shows me jon snow there must be some disturbance on the line', like she doesn't even consider for a second that it might be jon;

no one else has brought WITHIN THE NARRATIVE jon up as a likely candidate - they said stannis, they said dany, they said whoever but no one ever said hey jon snow might be AA, because again no one even suspects that it might be jon;

other matter that you're overlooking here: if theon is azor ahai.... it means that the rebellion basically was for nothing? because like the entire shtick with rhaegar targaryen's bad life choices™ is that he was apparently a swell dude, then he read a book where somehow it was exactly explained how the apocalypse was gonna happen, he deduced that he was the guy who had to father AA/the prince that was promised and in order - first he doesn't care about fighting but suddenly after that he starts getting learned; - he immediately worries over having THREE children from which we can deduce from the narrative that as far as he knows in order to fight when the wights come he has to have three kids for three dragons and one of them is azor ahai; - the moment his wife can't have more than two even if he's sure that he already had the right one (aegon) he still runs off with lyanna to make sure he has the third because it's that important that HE rhaegar targaryen fathers the three heads of the dragon... to the point of starting a civil war and most likely giving arthur orders to make sure that the kid lives at all costs even if he thinks lyanna's kid is NOT AA; - let's remember that the entire schtick is also that 'he is the ptwp and his is the song of ice and fire' which means that this kid of rhaegar's is the person these books are titled after.

now, let's look again at tyrion's infamous quote which I always bring up in these cases but let's refresh our memory here Prophecy is like a half-trained mule. It looks as though it might be useful, but the moment you trust in it, it kicks you in the head now: given this, we can absolutely assume that no single prophecy in this book goes the way the person at the end of it interprets it... which means that rhaegar was wrong on a lot of accounts, but guess what, the thing is that one out of three of his kids is dead (if we count aegon as trueborn, if he's not then two on three but I think he's trueborn) and the one who hatched the eggs/has the dragon is DANY so he already was wrong on head of the dragon #1, and he can absolutely be wrong on aegon being tptwp which would mean mistake #2 and we should know about the prophecy, but one of his children being AA and his being the song of ice and fire looks a bit too much of a stretch to be incorrect and have AA being someone else's son also would be.... but if AA is jon ie the one he had for last that he was sure was not AA and who doesn't even have the targ name (nor the stark one) and no one suspects having that kinda ancestry then yes it fits exactly all the parameters and it still allows for rhaegar to have partially misinterpreted the entire thing even in large chunks but not enough to make it look like he was completely making shit up, which... I mean the long night is coming I don't doubt he had very good reasons to want to stop it; also, anon not to beat the dead horse, but: - jon's death fits all the prophecy parameters already there's the bleeding star, the smoking wound and the salt of the tears which btw is not obvious nor something you'd immediately do 2+2 about... which fits perfectly with the above - jon died and came back to life in the godforsaken show like he's literally the only idiot who resurrected in it and we're supposed to handwave it the way dnd did? - jon has a valyrian steel sword that he can handle while theon atm really doesn't - we could argue that ygritte could be a possible nissa-nissa contender though I mean maybe it could also be that he and val get hot and bothered and it turns out it's her or someone else and that hasn't happened yet but surely there's more evidence for that with jon than with theon - theon has like... povs in two books for a total amount of less than fifteen chapters, jon has at least ten chapters per book or so on, which just mathematically makes jon a main fiver character while theon is not and like I understand deconstruction and all but you don't make your ace in the hole mystical prince hero character someone who has had fifteen chapters total at most unless I remember wrong the amount he had in acok in comparison to someone who was a main throughout the entire thing - like guys I say it as someone whose third-fave char is theon, theon is not a main fiver™ character and that's okay that's not the point, and with that I don't mean he's not important, I mean that he's not one of the five main ones that have most of the plot stuff on their shoulders and he's not THE main character, because if theon is AA then these books are named a song of theon greyjoy and considering that the main five are jon tyrion arya dany and bran I think it's highly not probable that at the end of it theon is the one character to rule them all

and that was for how jon fit the criteria, but theon doesn't fit them because again he doesn't have a number of chapters/povs that justifies such a plot twist, balon is certainly not rhaegar and I don't see how rhaegar reads a prophecy wrt balon and thinks it's about him, the heads of the dragon should be three and theon had three siblings two of which are dead and asha has no tie to the dragon storyline, this means that theon should be able to ride/command a dragon and we know that in theory just targs can and there's already three of them around - dany jon and aegon - and if anyone who's not a targ has a narrative reason to ride a dragon is tyrion not theon... and tyrion is a main fiver too, also there's the nissa-nissa/burning sword angle and as it is theon could absolutely use a bow again but a longsword with his hands maimed like that and no muscle mass would be a bit implausible, in order for the reborn prophecy to actually make sense it means his last adwd chapter should have smoke, salt and the bleeding star which it doesn't but jon's has so there's that

now, re what you said wrt theon:

Theon’s chapters are full of hints

not really? he doesn't have a tie to the magical storyline beyond his connection to bran. they have hints for a lot of things but that he's AA? idt so

he has the perfect salt/smoke/stars/dragons thing at the end of ACOK, when he “dies”

okay but then I could use the same argument for saying that AA could be davos when he survives blackwater because he says he woke up in wreckage of smoke in salty water, and then stannis has equally valid arguments bc he has the shiny sword and he's in dragonstone etc and we all know it's not stannis, also an AA death at the ending of acok when the topic has barely been introduced in dany's vision is entirely too early for me to drop that bomb

his story is about destroying death, his entire narrative, with things that come from mythology and ancient literature, points to that.

his story is about overcoming trauma and abuse and not dying in the process (which is why I think the show was trash) and okay but everyone in these books has something that comes from a mythology or ancient literature, like jaime brienne and c. all have arthuriana roots same as bran, doesn't make any of them a viable AA candidate

The show is trash, but don’t you think that it’s a little weird that Theon is there at the end and then Arya comes out of nowhere and becomes AA?And what ending does she get? Exploring the unknown SEA with SHIPS? Being free and on her own? Maybe it doesn’t make sense for her because it’s not for her.

considering that maisie williams was shocked that arya was AA and she also thought it made no sense and that dnd never thought theon had his own storyline while I can agree on the fact that it fits more for him as an ending than for arya, I don't think that means it makes him AA, same as I think that they gave sansa his storyline and possibly his confrontation with ramsay and I'm not 100% convinced on the last part anyway but that just means they didn't realize theon doesn't exist for the starks' storyline, also like.. in the show everyone but c. was in WF and theon was already dead when arya did her thing and honestly idt the battle of the long night will ever go like that anyway so idt even partially show truthing is bringing us anywhere

and even if he’s not AA, he’s still clearly connected to magic and all of that, he didn’t go though so much for nothing, he didn’t take his name back for the first time in his life, his name that literally means “godly”, for nothing

I never said it was for nothing which I'll elaborate in a second and ofc he's connected to the magic storyline... because he's connected with bran's storyline and his last round of atonement has to happen through bran in the sense that since he was the one basically forcing bran out of wf now he most likely has to facilitate bringing him back or smth (surely not dying for him), but like whatever magical stuff he has going on it has to do with bran dot, not with AA which I still think he doesn't have a stricter text connection to than davos has for that matter and idt davos is AA as I think I made clear

He has something big to do, and it’s about himself, not Robb and the Starks.

never said he didn't, and I also said that I wasn't going to speculate in detail about what theon has to do because I don't think there are enough text elements to say it now but there will be when wow comes out for sure, but like again I don't want to make predictions when I don't have the elements and wrt theon's themes/possible canon ending etc I always said that he most likely isn't going to inherit the islands but that he'll do something huge before the books are done which is gonna be tied to the northern storyline and possibly to bran because he has to go specular to acok - acok is his downfall, adwd is 'I'll find myself again', wow+ados have to be what would theon do if he decides his own thing while being his own person, or recycling my old THEON HAS HEGELIAN THEMES IN HIS STORYLINE acok = thesis, adwd = antithesis, wow+ados = synthesis so obviously he has something huge in the plans.... I just don't think it means he's AA

And he’s also so clearly connected to the politics of the north and of the iron islands, a villain was literally created for him, so I don’t understand how can you say he’s not really important and all he’s got left to do is retire in a house and be sad

aaand here we get to the point which is that... I never said that? I honestly never said that? I said he has to overcome his trauma and live and thrive and be happy after that. if he retires in a house at the end of ados after he does whatever he has to do in the main plot it's going to be because it's what he wants to do and most likely he and jeyne are going to be adorbs while doing it together or smth or if he goes back to the islands and advises asha then he's going to be happy doing that too, but like... the entire point of theon's sl is that he overcomes that horrendous abuse while not being a perfect good victim™ throughout and still be happy after and gain his redemption? that's what I always said. I never said that now he can just retire and be sad. trauma recovery is becoming happy after getting over your trauma. not being sad. and like.... sometimes not getting amazing mythological things but just being happy by yourself is actually a goal? again, grrm is a lapsed catholic. if I know that breed and I do, he doesn't think redemption and happiness are in shortage at the supermarket. and in order for theon to have narrative importance/weight/relevance he doesn't have to do magical mythological IMPORTANT™ things (even if I think he does have something cooked up as I said above), but like the entire point of his sl is the trauma recovery. he's there for that. that's literally his point in the plot and the fact that grrm created a villain for him means that he thinks it's an important thing to explore.

also I personally think that theon's arc is the best written thing in those books so like I don't want to undermine its importance, I just don't think that in order to be important™ then theon has to be dragged kicking and screaming into main fiver territory because there isn't the need.

. Of course he has a lot of trauma and that’s important, but I don’t like how people reduce him to that and act like just because those things happened, he can’t do anything else

I don't like that either esp. when coming from dnd who didn't even let him have it fully, but: and when did I ever do it? I never said that theon is only his trauma. my standing opinion wrt theon is that he's grrm's best written/constructed character (along with jaime) and his most innovative one (jaime following but theon wins it) because theon deconstructs the backstabber trope which I already went on about but:

again usually ppl who backstab the good protagonist™ get caught and punished and you never hear their pov

theon has all the povs

he's the main char in that storyline not robb

he has entirely understandable reasons that ppl decided aren't sympathetic just bc they don't want to admit that in his position they'd have done the same thing

the audience hates him for having contributed to robb's downfall but then he gets a comeuppance that's completely not what anyone would deserve for that and he gets the spotlight/the sympathy again

he gets narrative redemption saving jeyne so you can see he's not an asshole at all

has to get through horrific abuse for his entire life not just with ramsay, he's not a good victim™ but he's still written in a way that makes you want to root for him and at the end he actually comes through so you want him to keep on succeeding

which is smth that with the backstabber trope never happens

now the thing is that theon's there bc a) identity issues b) trauma recovery storylines that then get tied to bran's main one but like idg why just having the recovery storyline would make him lesser - saying he's not a main fiver doesn't mean he's not important, it means he's not a MAIN™ character... which in asoiaf doesn't matter bc even ppl without povs are important to the narration and are there to drive a point (see sandor and stannis), and I don't see why saying that the most important part of his sl/the one grrm wants to stick with the readers is the survivor part of it rather than whichever heavy magic related plot thing he has to play in the future means undermining his importance. and while I think he has that role, idt it's the most important one he has bc being a survivor is what sells his storyline/the entire arc of his character.

then if come wow I'm wrong I'll be like okay I fucked up, but: honestly, imvho there is no way that azor ahai is not jon snow, the fact that collectively as a fandom we think it's obvious doesn't mean people in westeros do, each single point of evidence is at jon and if occam's razor is a thing then it's jon and that's okay because as deconstructed chosen one as he is, jon is still the protagonist of these books and regarding the prophecy above, it makes a lot more sense that this series is titled a song of jon snow and not a song of theon greyjoy and I say this as someone who vastly prefers theon as a character. also, if smth is well-written, readers should see it coming, so the fact that jon is AA isn't predictable if it's true, it's grrm.... knowing how to write a book and plant his hints because if everyone guessed right then if he makes it suddenly someone else bc jon is too predictable then it's dnd making it arya bc SURPRISE WE NEEDED YOU TO GO LIKE WTF HAS JUST HAPPENED INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING THE NARRATION TO ITS NATURAL CONCLUSION, not 'it's too predictable' or the audience red herring the way jaime being the valonqar is an audience red herring. jon being AA should be absolutely obvious for the reader who paid attention and a total surprise for the other characters in the narration, the audience red herring is more dany than anyone else imvho and I'm dying on that hill for now, thanks for coming to my ted talk but like I don't see how it's anyone but jon personally X°D

#jon snow #theon greyjoy #janie writes meta #idk anon i've never said theon wasn't important #i said he wasn't a main char #and like.... my fave char is robb #who doesn't even have a pov #is EXTREMELY important to the narration bc the rw is the crux of 50% of the plot #and i wouldn't call robb a main either #and in asoiaf there are five mains™#and everyone else is on a level of importance #but like those five mains are MAINS more than the others #and jon is the main-est of them so X°DDD #like the fact that the protagonist of a series is the one that has to save the world isn't smth that i think grrm wants to deconstruct #he wants to deconstruct HOW he gets there #but that's mvho #peace

1834 May Friday 16th (part three)

For you m[u]st n[o]t forget, that, as a circumst[ance], w[hi]ch seems mo[re] partic[ularl]y to tell you the sect[io]n of your own heart, w[oul]d n[o]t then ha[ve] occurr[e]d, you m[i]ght still ha[ve] been ignor[an]t of it as ev[e]r; and I sh[oul]d n[o]t ha[ve] h[a]d the str[aight] advent[age] of being val[ue]d as at pres[en]t –

Mary! Is n[o]t this reasonab[le]? You f[i]nd trav[ellin]g insupportab[le] - you h[a]d oth[e]r int[ere]sts [unreadable] than mine - you c[oul]d n[o]t bear to leave Lawton - you ev[e]n made a point of my promis[in]g to set[tle] n[ea]r th[e]re - and you ab[ov]e all peop[le] knew how I w[a]s situate[e]d tow[ar]ds my own pl[a]ce where my fam[il]y h[a]d liv[e]d bet[ween] 2 and 3 cent[urie]s, I be[in]g the 15th possess[o]r of my fam[il]y and na[me] - Mary! The sp[iri]t of my unc[le] start[e]d up bef[ore] me, and h[a]d my life been the sacrif[i]ce, idolat[o]ry m[ust ha[ve] yield[e]d to hon[ou]r - Mary! My d[ea]r[e]st Mary, you th[ou]ght of me too lowly then, as you think of me too high[l]y now -

Reflect up[on] these th[in]gs - you will be happ[ie]r by and by - you will trust my fr[ie]ndsh[ip] and reg[ar]d implic[itl]y; and this will n[o]t be the least of the comf[or]ts that I firm[l]y hope will att[e]nd us b[o]th - ask me to wr[ite], or do an[y]th[in]g - I do n[o]t feel as if I sh[oul]d ev[e]r disap[poin]t you m[u]ch - I ha[ve] no feel[in]g tow[ar]ds you b[u]t affect[iona]te reg[ar]d; and my gr[ea]t[e]st anx[iet]y is for your welfare - B[u]t cheer up , Mary be comfort[e]d my d[ea]r[e]st Mary, if it sh[oul]d be b[u]t for my sake- How my pen still lingers on your engross[in]g subject!

I m[u]st answ[e]r the prompt of your let[ter] - James Clayton is no longer my serv[a]nt - he ca[me] to me on the 24th ult[imo] Refused to wear Thomas's liv[e]ry - on the 26th and left me on the 28th sorry probably for his folly , and n[o]t calculat[in]g That I sh[oul]d n[o]t retrace the warn[in]g giv[e]n at the mom[en]t - Mr Williamson, register office for serv[a]nts, Colliergate, (I th[in]k it is) York is the on[l]y pers[o]n I kno[w] of, like[l]y, to kno[w] an[y]th[in]g ab[ou]t the man –

You will see Fr[om] my last, as far as I can tell at pres[ent], wh[a]t I am go[in]g to be ab[out]- I shall prob[abl]y be in York By 12 on Tues[day], and off in an h[ou]r tow[ar]ds Richm[on]d – In my a[un]t’s pres[en]t state of health, I can’t be abs[en]t Mo[re] than a week – I do not exp[ec]t her surviv[in]g anoth[e]r wint[e]r – my fath[e]r’s life, too, is ver[y] precar[iou]s – He h[a]d a ver[y] slight paralyt[i]c affect[io]n, mo[re] partic[ularl]y in the left arm, 3 or 4 days ago – Mar[ia]n’s Attent[ion] to h[i]m is qui[te] exemp[lar]y- Her feel[in]g towards me seems altogeth[e]r chang[e]d int[o] wh[a]t is m[o]st Comf[orta]ble – God bless you, my d[ea]r[e]st Mary! You can’t poss[ibl]y doubt my reg[ar]d, n[o]r how m[u]ch I am alw[a]ys Ver[y] espec[iall]y yours AL’

writ[in]g out this let[ter] has taken me fr[om] 3 25/60 to 4 10/60 = 1 1/4 h[ou]r – what will Pi-[Mariana] think of it? I see three tears fallen on her paper - what a goose she has been – surely she never thought of losing – she played upon me too much – the history of our acquaintance maybe summed in she - accept[e]d refus[e]d marr[e]d offend[e]d refus[e]d repent[e]d-

The way AL trucates her vowels in the written form has me wondering if it was a reflection of her speaking voice. A tendency to speak far back in the throat and elide the vowels The thermometer scene when she speaks 'of VER[y] VER[y] bad memor[ie]s' springs to mind. But I'm sure that I have read elsewhere that Regency voices are closer to American North East pronounciation due to the Pilgrims not accents remaining closer to English as spoken then, so it is a mere idle speculation.

12 10/..

good one last night ver[y] fine sunny morn[in]g F[ahrenheit] 58 1/2° at 9 a.m. - br[eak]f[a]st at 9 1/4 - H[a]d Thorp – then Washingt[o]n

th[e]n left th[e]m all – A- [Adney] to go w[i]th Thorp int[o]the walk, and set out flow[e]r beds in front of the h[ou]se, whi[le]

I spo[ke] to John Pearson who ca[me] to gi[ve] up the farm, say[in]g I h[a]d run off my prom[ise] - th[a]t I h[a]d s[ai]d at

1st he w[a]s to ha[ve] the farm at the pres[en]t rent dur[in]g my fath[e]r’s life, b[u]t the last ti[me] I h[a]d s[ai]d he

w[a]s to beg[i]n of pay[in]g £65 p[e]r ann[um] immed[iatel]y – they h[a]d talk[e]d it ov[e]r at ho[me] and he w[oul]d rath[e]r

gi[ve] up the farm now, th[a]n ha[ve] it at any pr[ice] – I told h[i]m I neith[e]r want[e]d h[i]m to keep the

farm n[o]r get it - th[a]t w[a]s indiffer[en]t to me – I on[l]y wish[e]d h[i]m to do wh[a]t he th[ou]ght best for hims[elf]

b[u]t I was annoy[e]d at his talk[in]g of my break[in]g my prom[ise] – I h[a]d done no s[u]ch th[in]g - explain[e]d –

spo[ke] sharpish[l]y – he s[ai]d he w[a]s sor[ry] for the misunderstand[in]g – it w[a]s his mista[ke] and he w[a]s sor[ry] for

it – and I s[ai]d I w[a]s satisf[ie]d - Howev[e]r he gi[ve]s up the farm – and Washingt[o]n being still in the h[ou]se just

told h[i]m to go to Pearson, and say he (W- [Washington]) w[oul]d val[ue] the tenant-right on my part - th[e]n settled w[i]t Throp

so long (I s[ai]d 4 y[ea]rs at least they w[oul]d want it) as they sh[oul]d want it, or was long as I th[ou]ght they

want[e]d it - b[ou]nd Throp d[o]wn to ha[ve] all the acorns in by Xmas day - Washingt[o]n

told me, Mrs. Machin asks £40 p[e]r DW. for her coal, so he told h[e]r noth[in]g mo[re] w[oul]d be s[ai]d

ab[ou]t it – He s[ai]d Holt w[a]s mistak[e]n in say[in]g Mr. Rawson c[oul]d n[o]t get Mrs. Machins’ coal – now

th[a]t he h[a]d b[ou]ght the Law hill coal he c[oul]d get it all ver[y] well – asleep 1/2 h[ou]r till 1 3/4 - whi[le] we were out w[i]th Throp Ann

Lee and her assist[an]t Miss Fox and Ch[arle]s and Ja[me]s How[ar]th put up the Diaper tent-shap[e]d (the top seams b[ou]nd w[i]th

cord cov[ere]d w[i]th crimson carpet bind[in]g) in the upp[e]r kitch[e]n ch[ambe]r now to be call[e]d the tent r[oo]m - fr[om] 2

1834 April Tuesday 22 (part two)

Tues[day] eve[nin]g 22nd Ap[ril]

I ha[ve] been prev[ente]d finish[in]g my let[ter] so oft[en], it ma[kes] me qui[te] uncomf[orta]ble – I h[a]d a gr[ea]t deal to say to you, and m[u]ch I trust, that m[u]st be consol[ator]y b[u]t my ideas are so interrupt[e]d, I s[i]nce kno[w] how to manage them –

I w[e]nt to York, as I t[o]ld ] you I sh[oul]d, this day-week, and we ret[urne]d to a late din[ner] – of course I h[a]d no ti[me] to see an[y] bod[y] – b[u]t I h[a]d ti[me] en[ou]gh to th[in]k ov[e]r as I w[e]nt al[on]g, m[u]ch of the p[a]st and to hope and pers[au]de mys[elf], that hapip[ine]ss w[a]s still in store for you, and for us b[o]th – You may be well assur[e]d, that I sh[a]ll n[o]t soon or eas[il]y cease to th[i]nk of you w[i]th all the affect[iona]te int[ere]st you can desire – B[u]t it is sure[l]y useless to say mo[re] of th[i]s subj[ec]t, as co[me] wh[a]t may, you can[no]t doubt the deep sincer[el]y or abid[in]g stead[ine]ss of my reg[ar]d. You at least dur[in]g the life-time of your partic[ula[r] fr[ie]nds, can never be hopeless of all the bless[in]gs affection can bestow –

B[u]t wr[ite] to me ag[ai]n- you ha[ve] man[y] reas[o]ns for feel[in]g more settled, and at ease, then you c[oul]d poss[ibl]y do two y[ear]s ago – you can now calc[a]te pret[ty] secure[l]y on the sent[imen]ts of us all – For mys[elf], I can truly say, I w[oul]d do an[y] th[in]g in the world for you; and, howev[e]r fort[una]te you may be w[i]th resp[e]ct to oth[e]rs, there is no reas[o]n why the fr[ien]dship of 20 y[ea]rs stand[in]g sh[oul]d be less val[ue]d, or less true – I am satisf[ie]d en[ou]gh ab[ou]t my own happ[ine]ss – noth[in]g mo[re] is want[e]d than your being satisfied of yours- B[u]t, Mary, my hope for you is fresh and strong as ev[e]r – Rem[em]b[e]r wh[a]t your broth[e]r s[ai]d – I ha[ve] th[ou]ght on the subj[ec]t till I ha[ve] perf[ectl]y persuad[e]d mys[elf] , you ha[ve] done right, and y[e]t you ha[v]e n[o]t kn[o]wn 1st will suit you best- Rem[em]b[e]r all you s[ai]d to me ab[ou]t 2 y[ea]rs ago- Let me still feel you are as m[u]ch my fr[ie]nd as you were then, and I shall be satisf[ie]d – God bless you my d[ea]r[e]st Mary! My own happ[ine]ss can hard[l]y be independ[e]nt of y[ou]rs – Ev[e]r ver[y] espec[iall]y y[ou]rs AL” –

Foot[e]d the men (10 of them besides John Booth yest[erday] and 11 today Pickels and 3 men, Malling[ha]m and 2 masons, 2 glaziers fr[om] Mr Lawson’s, and Chr[is] and Ja[me]s How[arth] Pickels h[a]d Mr Geo[rge] Robins[o]ns quond[a]m man Matthew w[i]th h[i]m 1st ti[me] today), Miss W-[Walker] ga[ve] 5/.
