BURNEY, Frances ('Fanny'), Madame D'Arblay (1752-1840). Autograph letter signed ('F.B.'), to her brother Charles ('Carlos'), Norbury Park, 6 November 1784, 4 pages, 4to, address panel, postmarks (seal tear (repaired), slightly browned on verso of integral leaf, trace of guard). A lengthy, informative letter in which Fanny comments on the gap in their correspondence ('but we know the Hearts of each other too well to fill up such intervals with suspicions of any cause of silence worse than business or indolence '), describes her impressions of the Isle of Wight ('I thought the journey from Ride to Newport as delightfully diversified by wood, plain, & water, as even a Painters Imagination could have represented it'), expresses her regrets at the news of 'your Rosette' [his wife] and gives advice on the benefits of sea bathing, describes the attractions of Norbury Park ('Perfect tranquillity, incessant good humour, well chosen Books, lively Children, beautiful walks, & kindness the most unremitting ... The family ... so singularly, good , so charitable, so humane, so mild...') and laments ('The great -- the ever-regretted loss I have sustained in poor Mrs Thrale, makes the warm friendship of these admirable people peculiarly soothing to me.'). Fanny expresses her particular affection for Mrs Lock whose sympathy she valued highly. With the money Fanny received for her third novel Camilla , or A Picture of Youth (1796), she and her husband General d'Arblay built a cottage named Camilla Lacey on William Locks estate, Norbury Park, near Leatherhead.
