JA writes about family members & friends who will share the pain and suffering. It is a very emotional letter.

She wishes that her 2 nephews (Edward & George) could be w/ her (& her mother) in Southampton, but realizes it's probably best for now that they will be w/ the James Austens at Steventon. I think JA is wanting to do more, and trying to send out as much comfort and sympathy through her letters as she possibly can. (She mentions that she would also be sending a letter to Edward that same day.)
