Convent of Mar Elias [Lebanon], to Michael Bruce
A letter to her lover describing her life in Lebanon. She reveals pain at his failure to write for some months and describes at length her life after Bruce's departure. She writes of many topics including the organization of her household, her delight and interest in the Levant, dislike of English compatriots, and of an epidemic of plague that began in neighboring villages and spread to her household. Her enthusiasms include silk-weaving, animal husbandry, and gun barrels and other weapons. She urges Bruce to go to good places and seek out "good society": "do not mistake ignorance of vice for virtue, there is a wide difference ... be happy, that is all and never let a thought about me make you otherwise."
