- Scope and Content:
- Harriet writes, in typical fashion, expressing worries about home while away. She asks Leslie and their son Robert to write and tell her more about what is going on at home. She notes that Caroline has told her of a "little sweeper girl" who "rings the bell very often," and asks Leslie to have a servant, Amelia, warn the girl and then report her to the police. She hopes that George's Sunday clothes will be readied for church and closes, perhaps unintentionally comically, "your lovely wife, Harriet Leslie." A postscript reports that a Mrs. Stone is going to visit a Mr. Armstrong and is very proud of the fact; although Harriet has already had a call from him, she has not informed Mrs. Stone.
