Letter to Mary Repton

Previous - Next

"And now, my dearest Mary, what have I been doing? I have learned to love my own home; I have gained some knowledge of the world; some of public business, and some of hopeless expectancies; I have made some valuable acquaintances; I have formed some connexions with the great; I have seen a fine country, in passing through Wales, and have made some sketches; I have lost very little money; I shall have got the brogue; and you will have got a tabinet gown. So ends my Irish expedition."
