Summary
Expressing her frustration at being a woman; saying "Be consoled that you are not a w̲o̲m̲a̲n̲. Orion might have been the worse for it. Not to be a m̲a̲n̲ was one of my childish griefs - indignations & disdains - but I have gradually become resigned to my misfortune . . . which is an example to you . . ." submitting mottoes she has written for Banim, the "Irish novelists as a body", "Mrs. Shelley & the imaginative novelists", and for Heraud.
