Scope and content
10 Prinsegracht, the Hague. - Her uncle [Paul François Hubrecht] has read Sir George's letter to Robert, and she feels it her duty to write to Caroline to thank her for the kindness she has shown towards them; understands that in some ways Robert has acted wrongly [in not asking his parents before proposing marriage to her] but she has acted 'rather in the same way' so should say little. Describes something of how they grew closer to each other during Robert's two-week stay at Ede, her uncertainty at the end of the visit when he 'wanted to settle things more definitely, and her final decision. Robert has often spoken about Caroline, which gives her the courage to write 'so boldly and intimately'; asks her to forgive her this time.
