The collection contains five letters. She writes to Richard Jones of Dublin, a collaborator on her early farces, 20 February [ca. 1806-1811], about a farce she is working on and the success of her novel, and in an undated letter, about a Spanish farce she is writing and ends with a six verse humorous song called "Shoe black." She writes to Benjamin Chapman, n.d. [after 1812], humorously ribbing his ignorance of how to prepare and cook a wild duck; to publisher R[ichard] Bentley, n.d.

[ca. 1843], accepting an invitation to a party and offering the musical talents of her two nieces.
