Letters of Mary Wollstonecraft in London.2

To Everina Wollstonecraft
"February 23rd
... ... I am sorry to give you a bad account of Ann after my late praise, but a few days ago I discovered that she had been stealing sugar out of my closet constantly, and the artful way she managed it, not to mention the lies, really vexes me - She is undoubtedly very much improved and my visitors think her a fine girl - yet I have long been convinced that she will never be the kind of girl I should love with all my heart. She has great animal spirits and quick feelings, but I shall be much mistaken if she have any considerable portion of sensibility when she grows up. .... ....
Mrs. S. has, at last, brought forth a little girl."
