Book Description
Recipient inferred. Beaumez writes to her sister, likely Lucy Knox, her sister-in-law. Worries that her daughter, Harriett, has consumption. Thanks Lucy for sending barrels of beef, noting her plans to save the choice cuts for Christmas. Intends to send her daughter to some nearby islands because the doctor informed her that only a change of air and going to sea can improve Harriett's condition. Cannot visit America, as she is bound to care for her ill father. Could not afford to pay a quality artist to create portraits of her family. Notes that her daughter resembles Lucy's sister, Hannah Harwood, who lives in England. Harbors no resentment against Harwood, but claims that Harwood's influence on her mother-in-law, (Hannah Waldo Flucker) before Mrs. Flucker's death persuaded her to exclude Beaumez from her will. Expresses disappointment that Mr. Jackson (possibly Henry Jackson) was included in Mrs. Flucker's will. Comments on family and mutual acquaintances.

Book Description
Apologizes for her silence. Says when she returned home she was not well and that she found Madge lame from her rheumatism. Her home was in a disorder. She was distracted by the need to prepare the house for visitors staying with her during the school exhibition. She had to work so hard in this and other Domestic Ways that I really had not a moment to spare. Reports that Madge got better, but has since relapsed.
