Description
An account of the resource
Throughout this piece, Elizabeth is telling Frederic how things are back home. She begins by talking about a magazine they received, with a number of good pieces. Next we hear about the art that Eliza’s good kin is doing and how his drawing resembles a face. After that Elizabeth is describing her personally well-being and how she is recovering, but still doesn’t have the power to walk with a cane. Finally, she brings up that they just had a dinner party with Mr. Ellis to preach an evening lecture and he brought along Mr. Clarke as well. Elizabeth then signs off and assures Frederic of her love.
