- Scope and Content:
- Harriet writes to Charles in Paris, having sent a previous letter that was misdirected. She comments on wanting "to get Caroline away," most likely to school, soon, and asks Charles not to leave "M. with the Beales unless she can have a room to herself." Perhaps she refers to their daughter Mary. Harriet goes on to express her dislike and distrust of someone (the line is partially crossed out) and says that "she keeps you in hot water & wants angels to bear all her tartness..." She sends love to Mary and asks Charles to advise her not to spend a lot of money on a bonnet but to buy indoor shoes instead. The letter ends with Harriet's comment that "all we want is for you to take care of yourself." It is not clear whether this was the closing of the letter, but there are no other pages. The letter is addressed to Leslie at the Hotel Wagnam, Rue de Rivoli, Paris.
