“We have heard nothing fresh from Anna. I trust she is very comfortable in her new home. Her Letters have been very sensible & satisfactory, with no parade of happiness, which I liked them the better for.-I have often known young married Women write in a way I did not like, in that respect.”

A Walk with Jane Austen: A Journey into Adventure, Love, and Faith
Hi Lori- loved “A Walk with Jane”! It combined everything I enjoy reading: faith, travel, and Jane Austen. I live in Fairfax, not too far from Herndon, and things that you wrote about Herndon I totally sypathized with! Have a great day,
Laura Schaefer
