Scope and Content:
Harriet complains that her landlady is "a regular gripe all" and announces that she will be coming home the following day. She reports that a Mrs. B. (perhaps the Mrs. Beale referred to in other letters from the seaside) wished her and the children to stay but that Mary's eye continues to trouble her and she does not want to be away from home. She closes with information about her travel plans for returning home, telling Charles that she will be on a train passing through Brighton and arriving "in town at 5.30 that is 1/2 past 5 o'cl in town."
