The analyses of a text #1
The narrator recalls his adolescence.
His grand aunt got an apartment for him at London.
Mr. Wickfield is the master the boarding house he stayed at.
Agnes is Mr. Wickfield's only daughter and the narrator's friend.
On our way back, my aunt informed me how she confidently trusted that the life I was now to lead would make me firm and self-reliant, which was all I wanted. She repeated this several times next day, in the intervals of our arranging for the transmission of my clothes and books from Mr. Wickfield's, relative to which, and to all my late holiday, I wrote a long letter to Agnes, of which my aunt took charge, as she was to leave on the succeeding day.
[David Copperfield by Charles Dickens]
1. I'd like to know what "relative to which" means here.
2. And I'd like to know why it is "to all my late holiday," not "during/ in all my late holiday."
Thank you in advance for your help.
