Since its arrival Mrs. Carpenter has for the first time informed me that she had been taken into your counsels in the matter; and I am very glad that without any intention of her own your gift should have taken a form that so appropriately made her a participator in it. For her interest in Guy and her constant solicitude for his welfare have been as I need scarcely tell you in no degree inferior to my own. It gives us both great pleasure to have so substantial an expression of the satisfaction felt by Mrs. Paget and yourself in what we have endeavoured to do for him; and we trust with her that the influences and associations of early years may be pleasantly and usefully kept up on both sides by the continued friendship of our boys as they advance in life. With kindest wishes for the welfare and happiness of Mrs. Paget yourself and your family believe me Dear Mr. Paget always yours most sincerely William B. Carpenter."</p> . unknown

She had been failing for some time and seemed to suffer much from disappointment in regard to the affair of the pension having a great wish to be independent of the assistance of her friends and strongly desiring that her father's service to the nation should be acknowledged . . . There was not the least indication of suffering quite the contrary . . . So that I quite believe that she must have passed from the unconsciousness of sleep into that of death. For her and for all those who were interested for her I am satisfied that this will be felt the most desirable termination . . .</p> . unknown

And I remember also that there was evidence of the youth having had money in the Savings Bank and of his having drawn out a pound just before the Crystal Palace Police Fête.</p> <p>This altogether made so strong an impression on Mr. Bruce that he at once commuted the sentence; and the family were so sensible that the lad was not fit to take care of himself that they expressed no disappointment at his not having received a free pardon. . . .</p> <p>Carpenter's correspondent was the police magistrate and author John Paget whose Paradoxes and Puzzles published in 1874 included accounts of a number of sensational crimes.
