Scope and Content:
Harriet writes to follow up on her daughter Harriet's note to Charles. Harriet Jane Leslie requested money from her father, for the family, but Harriet Stone writes that they probably will not need as much as her daughter requested. She comments on the pleasant weather and remarks that Mary's drawings are very lifelike and impressive. She lists a few things that they have purchased, including parasols, flannel for petticoats, and boots, as a way of illustrating that they are not "extravagant." She sends love to a family member (perhaps the "Aunt C." whose train ticket to Brighton Harriet has purchased) and sends her love to "my Buck" and "dear Brad."
