Jane and her parents have left Steventon and are arranging their new home in Bath after a summer in Devonshire. Eliza, now married to Jane’s brother Henry Austen, passes this news to their cousin Philadelphia Walter. Only this short passage from her letter is quoted in the biography.
I conclude that you know of our uncle and aunt Austen and their daughters having spent the summer in Devonshire. They are now returned to Bath, where they are superintending the fitting up of their new house.
