Autograph letter signed : [London], to George Goodin Moulton-Barrett, 1843 April 4.

Scolding George for his lack of discretion in a previous letter; telling him that she has written to Wordsworth and that John Kenyon has sent him some of her poetry, in the hopes that he will ask for more; writing that "the poor Laureate" (possibly referring to the current Laureate, Wordsworth, or the previous one, Southey) had told Edward Moxon several years ago that he would leave a poem posthumously which would bring in as much money as Thomas Moore's "Lallah Rookh" did; relaying Moore's response to this: he "smiled scornfully at the thought,... poet's profits being so merely mythic now a days"; sending news about the subscription being collected for Mary Russell Mitford, and about her decision to settle in Three Mile Cross, Berkshire; sending news of family friends, including the Monros, Mrs. Hanford, and Mr. and Mrs. Martin, who have decided to spend some months in London every year, "as Mr. Martin enjoyed exceedingly being at the root of the world & seeing it grow"; telling him about a letter she has received from Benjamin Haydon: "a whole sheet full... & all about the Duke of Wellington & Napoleon!"
