Summary
Replying to Merchant and Ivory's replies [see MA 23840.202 and 203] to her letter of November 16 [see MA 23840.251]; appearing to not understand what she said to upset them; alternating between affection, contrition, and sarcasm as she discusses their recent correspondence; concluding, "You now owe me, both of you, two charming letters full of love & compliments & tender consideration for me, and full of bitterness & repentance & self-accusations against yourselves. Quickly!"
