TitleDraft letter from Eleanor Anne Porden to Miss Richardson, relating to the latter's translations of stories in French and their possible publication
Date[c1820]
DescriptionPrevented from replying earlier by visit of friend; both she and her father admire the fluency of her translations of stories in French, but they are not close enough, so they recommend that she revises them where they have marked in pencil; they will try to promote their success, but she may have over-rated the Pordens' "powerful interest"; she suggests some of the more respectable magazines to apply to; she herself had applied to the Gentleman's Magazine for a poem to published but had received no acknowledgement, even though the poem was published; remembrances to Miss Richardson's sister and Mrs Richardson; did she still have William Porden's two volumes of [Oliver] Goldsmith's Grecian History, which she had borrowed for the Miss Hollenburys
