- Scope and Content:
- Harriet writes, complaining about the scant postal service. She hopes that Charles is well and remarks on the pleasant weather. She writes about looking for a house to rent while she and the children are away. She comments on the price of a copyright (she says it should be 50 pounds), possibly referring to a matter with an engraver that is mentioned in another letter. She sends a playful remonstrance to Caroline and asks Charles to kiss "the dear Buck," likely referring to one of their sons, but to tell him that "he must be industrious." Harriet mentions an Uncle Sam and his wife, with whom they are staying. She calls Uncle Sam's wife "a regular Irish rogue."
