De briefwisseling van Guido Gezelle.

De tekst werd diplomatisch getranscribeerd, en aangevuld met een editoriale laag.

Voor een aantal tekstfenomenen werden naast de oorspronkelijke vorm ook editeursingrepen opgenomen in de transcriptie: oplossingen voor niet-gangbare afkortingen en correcties voor manifeste fouten. Daarnaast bevat de transcriptie editeursingrepen ter verbetering van de leesbaarheid (toevoegingen, reconstructies) of ter motivering van transcriptie-beslissingen (aanduiding van onzekere lezingen, weglating van onleesbare tekst). Alle editeursingrepen worden expliciet gemarkeerd.

    , Brook Green, Hammersmith
    January 26th 1863 My very dear Father

    How long I have been wishing to write to you, but have not had courage to do so. Little did I think the Saturday Afternoon

    Vermoedelijk 13 september 1863.

    you sat and talked with me so kindly, I was not to see you again.- Now I am left quite alone, did you know nothing about my Edmund’s going to Rome

    In november 1862 ging Edmund aan het Engels college te Rome studeren.

     when I saw you, I should have been able to have contended with the parting &c with much less suffering to my self had I been told what might be, but it came upon me suddenly, and crushed me, words could never express what I have felt, and yet feel Two years and a half at least must pass, before I can see my beloved Edmund, thank God he is well perfectly happy and most comfortable, I receive beautiful letters from him, he is very good & kind in writing often Bless himand bless all those who have done and made him what he now is, daily do I pray for them all - What a Father you have ever been to my Child, what gratitude I feel towards you - daily do I pray for you after Holy Communion, I trust you remember me, my path is very rough and marked out with thornes - Often do I think of you and of the night you listened to me

    Verwijzing naar de eerste Engelandreis van Guido Gezelle in september 1861. Gezelle bleef toen slapen de nacht van 18 september op 19 september.

    , on our way to the church Shall I ever see you again, if you come to England this year You will let me now, if I near were but near to one kind heart that would sympathize with me and lead me to Almighty God. I was told the other day by a very Holy Priest, that suffering was the only way by which I should ever g o e t to Heaven, then I say come sufferings, c o me grace only let my eternal rest be in the bosom of my God -January 27th 1863 - My own dear Father I must have this posted to you today My Sister Mrs Pagliano has quite left this House she is now in Brighton where I think she will remain till after Lent, her marriage I suppose will soon take place after, when she will live in Ireland, this place I believe is to be sold next month I remain here till after the sale, when my resting place for a time will be the Alms Houses’ - Now to business dear Father. I sent the receipt to Edmund for him to sign he will receive it Wednesday the 28th Inst

    “Inst” wordt in het Engels gebruikt met een datum om de huidige maand aan te geven.

    , he is sure to post it back to England Saturday the 31st Inst I shall get it Wednesday February the 4th w t hen I shall only have to hand it to my Brother when he will pay me the Legacy

    John Crowch Christophers was één van de executeurs van het testament van zijn vader.

     - Edmund desires I will write and ask you, in his name to send me a bill receipted to the exact amount in English money and state how you would like the money forwarded to you at Bruges and which will be the best and safest way, immediately my Brother John sends me the legacy I will pay the money in the way you will desire me; you will find me punctual and p l a rticular After I have received your letter with the necessary instructions - I do not think I need say more on the matter in question

    Het gaat over schulden die Edmund Hicks had bij Gezelle voor de som van £ 10-8s-1d 1/2. Zie brief van Fanny George aan Guido Gezelle van 08/04/1863.

    - I hope by this time your dr dear Brother has got quite over the sad accident

    Het linkerbeen van Romaan raakte zwaargewond bij een ongeval tijdens afbraakwerken aan de Brugse Katelijnepoort.

     I trust your family are well Should you see Mr Bethune and Mr Faict will you remember me to them and tell them I can never forget all they have done for my beloved Edmund -

    Now dear Father you will pray very often for your lonely Child Fanny, remember me when you say Mass, bless me often in spirit say, God Bless my poor English Child, I suppose dr dear Edmund’s Bird is still alive and well attended to by your kind Sisters

    De vogel van Hicks werd door Gezelles zusters Florence en Louise verzorgd, die toen nog in het ouderlijk huis woonden in de Rolweg te Brugge.

    Believe me my own dr dear Father your affectionate grateful and sincere Child in J.C. Jesus Christ Fanny
