Given the high winds and cold that have descended upon my own area these last few days, I found today’s quote appropriate for a title… but Jane Austen’s lengthy letter to sister Cassandra on 3 November 1813 has so much more of interest in it, so do indulge!!!  And there’s also a short note from the same date in 1815, written to publisher John Murray requesting a brief meeting while Jane Austen is in London attending to Henry and his illness.

3rd November 1813

3rd November 1815 – to John Murray
