Description:
The letter is concerned with family matters. Jane writes to ask if Louisa resembles Mary Hamilton or her husband and notes that 'children of her age are so engaging that it is difficult to refuse them their own way in almost anything'. Mrs Stratford is spending the winter at Nancy rather than Geneva, lodging at the same house as her friends, Mr and Mrs Foster who are also abroad for reasons of economy. Jane and her parents are due to move to their new house tomorrow. They had meant to move sooner but the unreliability of builders had held them up. She also writes of being busy learning for the part of Isabella in a play called Comedy of the... to be held at the Duke of Richmond's Theatre. She has learnt her part very well and as the Duke wants to have a new theatre which is not yet completed to play it in. Dated at London.
