It is nothing but, being unexpected, and sure to be useful in some way, may be acceptable'. She asks her to 'say nothing about it to any one as it is of no Consequence and I coul dnot offer it except with other Contributions'. She will 'look for the Scandinavian poetry & may find it. | Longfellow gives some in his Poets of Europe'. She ends in hopes of hearing 'better news of colds &c'.

According to his entry in the Oxford DNB, 'In 1844 Lover abandoned miniature painting as a result of failing eyesight but continued to paint and exhibit landscapes.
