Mr. Smart did not permit her to sit that night. He looks forward to receive her picture, and that of her
Uncle. He lays forth the circumstances of his leaving, with the good Captain Urmston. He provides an account of those joining him on his voyage, all ladies seeking husbands in India. In order of age these are Mrs Brown, Miss Dawson, niece of the master of ceremonies at Bath, Miss Jarrett, Miss Mitchell, Miss Cooper, Miss Botham and the Miss Tootings[?], Miss Dashwood, another Miss Dawson and lastly, little Miss Dawson, about nine years old, who is the natural daughter of a Mr Dawson, by a black woman, and is a little darker than "whitey brown". Her Uncle's prints are safe.
