Lady Anne Isabella Noel Byron, Cavendish Square, to Henry Crabb Robinson, [30 Russell Square, London], 19 April [1855].

[f. 131r]

4 Cavendish Sqr

April 19th (1855)

Dear Mr C. Robinson

       That we should never have mentioned Robertson’s Sermons! Have you seen them? I shall not read them. It is sufficient for me to know through what still they have passed – The story is told with some reservation in the Preface or Dedication.       

       I hope that you have felt the manly independence of my Grandson with all his uncouth ways. His heart is sound, & his head not far wrong.

       Tomorrow at 12 – ?

             Yours very truly

                         A I: Noel Byron.
