Harriet A. Dwight Bread-Making

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. IT was now that the bread problem had to be encountered, Of which Miss Jewsbury speaks in her 'recollections Of Mrs. Carlyle.' Carlyle could not eat such bread as the Craigen puttock servants could bake for him, or as could be bought at Dumfries, and Mrs. Carlyle had to make it herself. Miss Smith, an ac complished lady, living at Carlisle, has kindly sent me a letter in which the story is charac teristically told by Mrs. Carlyle herself. It is dated Jan. 11, 1857, - after an interval Of nearly thirty. Years. Mrs. Carlyle writes.
