Charles Thomas Haden is the young apothecary who attended Jane’s brother Henry during his serious illness in London. Jane’s account of Henry’s care describes him as attentive. Here she thanks Haden for lending books and asks him to visit before she leaves London. The short note does not name the books.
Dear Sir
We return these Volumes with many Thanks. They have afforded us great amusement.—As we were out ourselves yesterday Eveng. we were glad to find you had not called—but shall depend upon your giving us some part of this Eveng.—I leave Town early on Saturday, & must say “Good bye” to you.—
Yr: obliged & faithful
