Miss Jane Austen begs her best thanks may be conveyed to Mrs. Hunter of Norwich for the Threadpaper which she has been so kind as to send her by Mr. Austen, & which will be always very valuable on account of the spirited sketches (made it is supposed by Nicholson or Glover) of the most interesting spots, Tarefield Hall, the Mill, & above all the Tomb of Howard's wife, of the faithful representation of which Miss Jane Austen is undoubtedly a good judge having spent so many summers at Tarefield Abbey the delighted guest of the worthy Mrs. Wilson. Miss Jane Austen's tears have flowed over each sweet sketch in such a way as would do Mrs. Hunter's heart good to see; if Mrs. Hunter could understand all Miss Jane Austen's interest in the subject she would certainly have the kindness to publish at least 4 vols more about the Flint family, & especially would give many fresh particulars on that part of it which Mrs. H. has hitherto handled too briefly; viz, the history of Mary Flint's marriage with Howard.

Miss Jane Austen can not close this small epitome of the miniature abridgment of her thanks & admiration without expressing her sincere hope that Mrs. Hunter is provided at Norwich with a more safe conveyance to London than Alton can now boast, as the Car of Falkenstein which was the pride of that Town was overturned within the last 10 days.
