| Description | She has been unable to write before as few vessels sail from Van Diemens Land to England in winter. She is glad to hear that they are all well and Aunt Betsy is no worse. She describes the books she is reading in English, French and Latin. She is studying Grammar, Geography, French, Music, Latin and Maths. She is also sewing doileys for Mary. She does not have a dance teacher but sometimes dances in the evening, and plays chess. She has a walk with Sir John from 8-9 each morning. Mr Walter has bought some land on the banks of the Huon, which he has cleared to plant vegetables, and built himself a hut. His eldest daughter is a Nursery Governess with a family in Campbelltown, and Fanny Walter is waiting at the Franklins until she can find a position. |
