      <dc:description>Partial letter from [Robert?] Garden dated London, 31 October, 1833, to &amp;quot;Dear Sisters,&amp;quot; followed by a long disquisition on the proper response of women to changes in their circumstances: &amp;quot;It is the smile of contentment which ought to be on your lips even in the midst of the greatest difficulty.&amp;quot; It is not made clear whether actual changes in circumstance in the financial or social standing Garden family are behind this well-meaning attempt to stave off discontent in the sisters. This is possibly from Garden sisters&amp;#039; brother Robert Garden.</dc:description>
