Summary
Thanking him for the interesting reading material he sent her. She says that it is fortunate for her [family] name to have been such an inspiration to him. He managed to persuade her for a few moments that they were living in a time that is now unfortunately far off. She fears being accused of vanity in alluding to the possibility of publishing this work, but, setting aside anything that might flatter her, she finds it desirable to offer young people this model of good taste and erudition.
