- Scope and Content:
- Harriet writes that she received Charles's last letter. She writes that she grieves "over Mrs. Knott," but says that the dead woman was such a good Christian that no one should be too upset because she is going to Heaven. She reports that Mr. Wallis has lent his punt, but that Robert enjoys nothing more than sketching. She believes that Robert should go "to Carey's school & make him drudge well there for a year at least." She comments on the marriage of Mrs. Knott's niece, but says that "Alfred C. I am sure wonders any one should get married," as he feels that pretty girls are suited only for artist's models and that "children [are]...useless." She sends instructions for the servant, Susan, and asks Charles to bring Caroline's boots when he arrives in town.
