MY DEAREST MRS. P,
I am so much concerned to you, I should often like to see you. As for Mrs. B, I shall think she must be very miserable, because Mr. B is dead: so now her little boy has no father, or nobody to teach him Latin and Greek; so, you know, what a sad thing that must be! The book of quadrupeds, I think, is a very useful book to me. My Mental Improvement also is a very useful book; for I too learn a great deal from it. The serval, which is beautifully spotted, is extremely fierce. These circumstances, which to me have been very curious, now are less curious.
