Summary
Saying she was amused by his note [in which he apologizes for naming Amelia's maid Payne, which is also the name of one of Mrs. Brookfield's maids], noting that it may pass as a coincidence should "it ever transpire that the two maids have that communion together." Remarking on the characters in Vanity Fair, congratulating him on "a brilliant wind up." Asking him to thank Annie for the gift of "the most splendid Brobdignag Strawberries."
