Evidence: | 'I sent you Nina - & a Novel of the Countess Hahn by Miss R - [Ramsbottom] her best I believe - I am reading another now that I do not like so well - Fau[s]tina is very clever - all about Clement is excellent - two things I think erroneous - one is bad management on the part of the authoress the other unnatural - She ought to have accounted better for the absence of Andlau - In the situation she describes he wd have come back or sent for her - never have allowed so long a separation - the unnatural thing is Faustina ever wishing to leave her child - a woman of that directness of feeling is always I think maternal but I like the book & it is clever - lend it to Knox when you have read it'
