• Notes

  Visited his sister Emily Susannah Clarke at Brighton. [9] From Auckland, he writes to Mary Ann Evans in London. [5] Letter from George Eliot to Emily Clarke (her neice, and Edward Clarke's sister): I am surprised to hear that our oldfriend Dr Kittermaster is still living. The kind old man would be sadly greived to know of the trouble about Edward inwhom he took so friendly an interest. You can hardly expect to hear from that unfortunate Brother, and perhaps silenceis the least painfil condition in relation to him.' [10] Letter from his uncle Isaac Evans (George Eliot's brother), telling him not to call on him. [9] [9] 'Mary Ann [George Eliot] was particularly close to their three childen [Chrissey's and Edwards], and she often took thetwo oldest home with her.' [11]
