The origin of this copy is not recorded. However a postscript to the first letter reads: I have no time to write anybody but yourself - indeed scarcely any to read over this scrawl. Be so good as to show it to my brother, and let one copy be sent to Mrs Hyde and another to Cameron, who I am glad to observe has returned with Mrs Crawford, to whom Mrs E. has written a journal of our progress.
