Saying he is spending time in Yorkshire and finding it prettier in the winter than in the summer; offering advice on how to deal with her son; saying that "the only thing to trust to is firm, complete medical knowledge associated with steady principles and the heart, if possible, guarded by fine earthly affection; every boy ought to be devotedly in love at 14: if possible, with the person he ought to marry, but at any rate with somebody--perhaps being half in love with two or three somebodies will do;" suggesting she read 'Angel in the House' as "this last liberal view of mine is borrowed from it."
