Summary
Giving Burney advice about the American publication of her works and her control over copyright: "If you have not thought of this before, I should imagine it may be worth attending to, for printed in America anything of yours will certainly be the moment they can get it, & there is no reason you should not have the profit of of it"; recommending a Mr. Brevort, "an American merchant", as a person who could arrange the printing and copyrighting of Burney's work there; writing of how much she has valued the chance to meet Burney in person several times: "the high admiration I have ever felt for your genius, & the affectionate regard for your person has made me think them [the meetings] very precious."
