Discussing the possibility of her son [William Hazlitt, Jr.] taking up music seriously, stating that Lamb relayed her thoughts on this to her ex-husband William Hazlitt, who "expressed such a horror and aversion to the idea of his singing in public, that I cannot meddle in it directly or indirectly." Suggesting she contact Ayrton for advice instead. Sending love from himself and Mary.
