4pp, 16mo. Bifolium. Forty-two lines of text. Letterhead of family crest in gold and red. In good condition, lightly aged, with traces of white paper mount adhering to last page. Three fold lines. The editor's 'obliging Note' affords her 'sincere pleasure to have the opportunity of expressing her gratitude to him in person', and she asks him not to call some day the following week (she is 'going out of Town' the week after), but not in the morning, as she has 'much business, of a disagreeable and imperative nature to transact now'. 'The letter which The Editor of “The Lady's Newspaper” is so very good as to say he will take the trouble of reading, she will forward to him – as soon as she gets it back from another Literary gentleman to whom she sent it and who has been an equally generous Champion of hers'. The year of the letter is unclear (if 1842 it is too early for Landells).: The 'disagreeable' business she refers to may well have to do with her continuing mistreatment at the hands of her estranged husband.
