| Description | She comments on personal feeling and grievances within their correspondence, and her earlier return of one of his letters. She quotes from one of his letters, which does not support the notion that he cannot write to her in an unconstrained way. Her 'notorious deficiences' in keeping financial accounts justify complaint, but she wonders if she has been deceiving herself about their relationship. She asks for his note back as she could not detect his assent about Gray and she had no unworthy feelings. [From 17 February] Since her account of her horse to John, the animal has now become lazy. She has just received the Royal Society's Proceedings and asks who 'TRR' might be. Mary has been feeling better and she will start early in the afternoon down the new ghaut, in search of Adiantum hispidula, which Mr Vipan told her about. |
