- Scope and Content:
- Harriet writes from Bromyard, Herefordshire, saying that she misses her family and fears being forgotten by "the little ones," but that a trip to the seaside (whence she writes) will "patch me quite up for the whole winter..." She inquires after the children at home (it seems that Robert is with her) and sends instructions for their care. She writes repetitively of coming home and sets a date for her return. Harriet comments on being in Malvern, saying that she went to the library and scanned the visitors' list but did not see a Miss Wilkie or Lady Laurie. Harriet closes but then adds an odd postscript about her dislike for widows who remarry and closes again with some instructions for their daughter, Harriet.
