Opinion and Counsel

"My dearest Fanny, I am writing what will not be of the smallest use to you.  I am feeling differently every moment, & shall not be able to suggest a single thing that can assist your Mind.--I could lament in one sentence & laugh in the next, but as to Opinion or Counsel I am sure none will be extracted worth having from this Letter."

letter to her niece Fanny Knight
November 18, 1814 [109]
