- Scope and Content:
- Harriet acknowledges receipt of Leslie's recent letter and "the Punch with your Sir Roger in it..." referring to a print of his painting, "Sir Roger De Coverley Going to Church." She comments on the sermon preached at church earlier in the day. She remarks that "none but a man impressed with the transitoryness [sic] of this life could have preach [sic] such a sermon..." Rather humorously, she notes that, given the potentially fatal heart complaint she knows the preacher to have, "all Parsons ought to have heart complaints" that they might preach as effectively. She closes with affectionate messages for their sons, "dear Buck and Rob," and a couple of other comments.
