Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Thoughts on Men and Things: A Series of Essays
I know all people who write in the papers and magazines are so particular about their verbs, and pronouns, and stops, and language generally; and although I am considered to write very good letters for a girl of my age (sometimes four sheets, and all crossed too), yet that is different, you know, from writing for the public eye, as one may say; so I hope you will be so kind as just to look over what I have written, and put good grammar and that kind of thing, which I never could thoroughly understand, and never shall.
I must finish now, for I hear George's step, and he will want me to show him this letter if I have not sealed it up, and he is always so persisting, I know I shall not be able to refuse him. Of course I wish to remain incognito, but still, if any young men of good family and prospects should wish to know our address, I do not mind your telling them, but not otherwise. I may mention, too, that there is very good fishing in the neighbourhood.
