were the lawful property of Jane or Charles will never be exactly
understood.
I have come to the end of my traditional lore, as well as of my
personal recollections, & I am sorry that both should be so
meagre & unsatisfactory; but if this attempt should incline others
to do the same, even if no more, the contributions when put
together may furnish a memorial of some value. You must have it
in your own power to write something; & Caroline, though her
recollections cannot go so far back even as your’s, is, I know
acquainted with some particulars of interest in the life of our
Aunt; they relate to circumstances of which I never had any
knowledge, but were communicated to her by the best of then
living Authorities, Aunt Cassandra–– There may be other sources
of information, if we could get at them–– Letters may have been
preserved, & this is the more probable as Aunt Jane’s talent for
letter writing was so much valued & thought so delightful
amongst her own family circle.
Such gleanings however are not likely to fall to our share, & we
must content ourselves, I fear, with our own reminiscences.
