| Description | Letter written from Ambleside, dated 7 March stating regret that Sarah is not able to come and visit at present, but hopeful she will be able to come and enjoy the countryside in April. She also discusses a possible lecture series. She is sending Sarah her book, but will not be offended if she does not like it. Harriet outlines her disappointment at John Murray refusing to publish her book ['Eastern Life, Past and Present'], having previously led her to believe he would. Harriet has arranged for it published by Moxon instead. The letter closes with some comments about her desire for a regular income over the next 2-3 years and Harriet's belief that income tax 'falls singularly hardly upon me.' |
