She had given one to Lord Chalmondley [sic], which she thought would spread knowledge of the book. She asks whether the six books she had received since the sale were for France or England. She mentions how much she had been sharing in the anxieties of his family, over Richenda's illness and Priscilla's new baby, her feelings about leaving her family to go on her proposed journey [to France], and her wish to be strengthened by one of Priscilla's encouraging letters and comments on the bright prospects of her going to Halesworth, though it might be a little dull at first. She sends thanks for Hannah's present to her husband.
