Letter from Catherine Hutton to Dr. Kelly, 5 November 1822

By Alyssa Wu

My dear Sir

I return your two volumes

of Burke’s works with many thanks, and

I hope without their being the worse for the

advantage I have derived from them. I

know nothing like them; so profound, so

comprehensive. I have made many extracts

from them, and should have made more,

but I feared the stout broadcloth would

not match my flimsy gauze.

I am, Sir, with great respect,

Your very obed.^t serv^t,

Catherine Hutton
