| Description | John's two letters came yesterday, with the cheque for 400 rupees. A 'burning process' has made her enfeebled and she sympathises with John's sufferings of heat and noise. She describes the noise of her own surroundings and her health condition. She wishes to hear John's views on her plans, and if she should pack up. She hopes she is not misjudging matters, concerning what she told Bella [Isabella Herschel] about the duties of wives in India, concluding: 'they have not the data, any more than they have the right, to legislate for another'. |
