- Scope and Content:
- Harriet hopes that Charles has arrived safely, presumably back at home after dropping off the family on a holiday. She says that they have " a nice little bed for Brad" but goes on to complain that "our bedroom was so much infested last night with the smell..." Harriet remarks that the family felt lost without Leslie there, and that Bradford "was up this morning & over the Downs," suggesting that this letter comes from Sussex. She frets about Bradford's health, suspecting something is wrong with him because "he breathes so hard at times & seems tired without cause..." She closes with a note about a Miss Wadding who has returned with them and sends her love to Caroline.
