Autograph letter signed : Avon Bank, to her mother, 1841 Feb. 20.

Saying she was delighted by her father's writing that she is to come home for the summer. She is glad that Sophia is well and hopes that Mary will now recover like the others. A Leamington doctor says that trouble with her foot was caused by too short shoes. She would like to have a letter from Uncle Melville and to write Uncle Andrews, and hopes that her mother will soon answer her last note. Her enjoyment of the little girls' charade; of a print she has bought of the Chancel of the church; of Mr. Parker's teaching of globes; of her room companions (more her own age); of the snowdrops and crocuses. This term seems shorter than the last; only six weeks before Easter. She hopes that she can travel home as she came--by sea: "I like sea so much better than land." Then she will have a month at home, and "the same in London." She considers "this a very long letter."
