Letter from Eleanor Anne Porden to Henry Ellliot, on her having found forgotten documents in desk drawers and also Opening a drawer that morning she discovered a ghost, something she should have returned to him, but now serving as a bitter-sweet reminder of her Attic Chest days. She found other items in other drawers in other rooms, including the start of "an Heroic Epistle which should have introduced the Voltaic Battery to his critical animadversions". She copies a few lines rom the pencil original. Sha then asks for a critique of her poem "Coeur de Lion", hoping for his valued, sincere opinion in spite of his partiality: there is no rush and can wait until autumn. She cannot help be reminded of their 'coadjutor, Miss Vardill, now Mrs Niven, whose letters she has, and who is now happily married. Eleanor imagines that he may be smiling that it might be her turn soon: she wonders whether his own romance mgiht never have an end. As her father does not think his daughter can write anything that is not superlative, she expects him to write frankly on her "Dicky" [i.e. Coeur de Lion]. She talks of possible travel into France with her father who is keen to go, but she thinks he should not, but if it happens, hopes is not stuck alone in a foreign land. PS: he will recognise parts of "Coeur de Lion", but they were always intended for it. 12 Jul 1822
