- Scope and Content:
- Harriet writes from "Standwell House, Rottingdean." She expresses dismay not to have had a letter from Charles, and hopes that he is well. She asks for George to bring senna leaves from home and reports on Harriet, Caroline, and Mary all bathing earlier in the day, saying that she wishes she had the courage to do it too. She has watched a storm all night, wondering whether Charles experienced it too. She admonishes Charles again for not writing and states that she is anxious about him and wishes she hadn't left him. She is pleased with the food and wishes she could share it with Charles. She warns him not to stay in Robert's room because it is too cold and damp, again wishing that Charles were with her to experience the warm and pleasant weather. Bradford has befriended a local couple called the Coppers, and will "paint them another picture." Harriet requests a board for him, "like Mary's" and follows with a list of tasks for the servant Susan to perform.
