Summary
Concerning her pleasure at learning of the approval expressed by the Bishop of Lincoln for her book (unidentified here, but probably her Sermons on the doctrines and duties of Christianity, published anonymously by Cadell & Davies in 1801) and requesting that a copy be sent, "elegantly bound" to the Bishop with "the author's best respects & most grateful acknowledgments"; also directing that copies of the book also be sent to the Bishop of London as thanks for "his obliging letter, & for the permission of placing the work under his protection"; complaining that she finds the book "very incorrect" and encloses her corrections with a request that they be included as errata, and further stating that page 213 is "almost illegible in the copy you sent me" and will require reprinting if it appears the same way in the other copies.
