- Scope and Content:
- Harriet writes while away from home, likely on a seaside holiday with the children. She begins with a little note recommending that Leslie not fold his letters "so wide apart." She says that she is glad to have been away while Irving was visiting Leslie, for she suspects that the former is "jealous" of her and would prefer Leslie to have remained a bachelor. She amends her remark by stating that she is sure Irving likes her as much as she likes him. Harriet comments on the children's sketching and swimming. She remarks that she is sorry that Leslie's picture "has been so much interrupted," but that she is glad that Irving was pleased with "the St. John's head" in this painting. Harriet closes with a postscript saying, "I dont think you read all my stuff--I forgive you--but burn these."
