Thanking her for her book: "Womankind en masse owe you a great, a lasting obligation for this work, which reflects such honor on our Sex. Such books serve at once as an incitement as well as an example to goodness, and ought to be in every ones hands"; commenting on the weather: "This cold weather is very trying, and disagrees very much with me who spent so many winters in Italy when I less required a genial climate"; sending greetings from her nieces, and best regards to Mr. Hall and Mrs. Hall's mother.
