http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/437416779

Telling her they hope to leave for Brussels soon; noting that she would be "so glad to have someone to cook the dinners, it is so tiring and heating"; reporting that Charlie [Charles Allston Collins] is working on writing about their journey; asking about food prices in London; complaining about the cold weather; alluding to Wilkie Collins's success; insisting that Mrs. Collins should use all the rooms in her house instead of shutting up rooms to "keep [them] nice" for her son and daughter-in-law; expressing a "violent hatred" for Mr. Charles Ward because the style of his letters "aggravates [her] dreadfully."
