| Date | [c 1833] |
| Description | She refers to a visit from Sir C. Clarke [Sir Charles Mansfield Clarke, her physician]. She writes about her health and makes a range of criticisms about Clarke and his diagnosis. She also writes of other people: Mrs [Elizabeth Jesser] Reid - who has been writing letters from her travels, Fanny and her friend, Hilary Carter. She ends with a reference to the near completion of her 'poor 4th vol & there I stop' and notes that Eliza's 'judgement of vol 3 is justified by its reception' [possibly referring to her four volumes of 'Poor Laws and Paupers', published in 1833-34] |
