| Description | Sarah Haigh writes that it is the intention of Mr and Mrs Sutton to go to London next summer and to take their daughters with them. At any event, she will come, having already received two invitations at Cheshunt.
Miss Haigh's progress in study is not what she would like it to be, as she is increasingly sensible of her ignorance. However, she has perceived a visible improvement in her Latin. She reads Virgil every day and is using a dictionary less frequently at every page. She is very keen to understand this language as it is a key to so much knowledge and will help her to learn French, Italian and Spanish.
She is finding this place to be convenient for astronomical pursits and is using an instrument called as astroscope, by which the right ascensions and declinations of any star can be found and consequently its name, and by which the hour of the night may be ascertained when the sky is clear.
Miss Haigh apologises for her writing, but she has used a steel pen which accounts for it. |
