[Pencil in Sarah Hone's hand:] Our dear Rose's first Letter. 1825
My dear father,

I should like to see you if you would but come. I should like mother to fetch me at xmas. A young lady gave me a large doll, and another gave me some silk to make it more clothes. Give my love and a kiss all round.2

I remain
Your affectionate
Rose Hone

Mrs. Hone

Rose Hone (b. 1818) was staying with Mary Hazlitt, perhaps while Sarah Hone was being delivered of another child late in 1825—Alice, the Hone's youngest child, was born on 8 December, 1825—or perhaps to recover from some illness (or both). This brief letter appears on the verso of a longer note from Hazlitt. [return]
