Educating girls Written by Carol L (4/3/2008 11:49 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Maybe he gave her advice on food for the girls ;-), penned by Graciela

It seems to me that JA is being ironic in the above quote re Mrs. Goddard's school. It "was in high repute -- " but not for the teaching or learning that might go on there. Not one word of what the girls might be expected to learn at the school.
