Excerpt from A Memoir of Maria Edgeworth, Vol. 3: With a Selection From Her Letters by the Late Mrs. Edgeworth
I received your letter this morning, the first thing that blessed my eyes, and read it to Mrs. Edge worth, who blesses you for thinking of her boy at the right moment, and thus having the goodness to re member the invitation you gave him months ago. This is uncommonly kind - but no kindness is extraordinary from Scotch hearts. Pakenham left us the day before yesterday to pass a few days with Harriet and his friends in Dublin before setting out for Scotland. Be assured we had not forgotten your kind invitation to him, as you will see by a note of mine which he has now in his pocket, and which was addressed to all your good family greeting, and claiming hospitality for him.
Garry Owen, published in a little Annual for 1829, called The Christmas Box.
