| Description | Letter written from High Street, Marylebone, dated 28 May. Walker writes to her son Sidney, currently studying at Eton, with advice about overcoming the 'mental lassitude' that has been oppressing him. She praises his 'songs of Peace' and reports that there are hopes of getting his 'Gustavus' into the Edinburgh Review. She consults him on the possibility of selling the house in Dover to settle their debts and allow him to buy a Montem suit. She sends news of friends and family and hopes to see Barbara soon. |
