Autograph letter signed : Hampstead, to Mrs. [Sarah] Bartley, [1835] Dec. 7.

Noting that she and her sister have been prevented from visiting the recipient owing to the fly coach lacking horses; announcing that she is about to publish her remaining manuscript plays in 3 volumes and will be sending along a copy to her and Mr. Bartley ("The best thing I dare venture to say in commendation of them is considerable variety in the designs & stories of the Pieces and, perhaps, considerable originality. My expectation of success with the public is, as it ought to be from experience of the past, exceedingly moderate"); stating that she and her sister expect to be in Cavendish Square after Christmas, when they hope to visit the recipient, and that Mrs. Baillie has had her sister with her for some time, "both grieving together for the death of their Son & Nephew poor Sir T. Croft".
