Probably a family joke Written by Barbara (3/17/2009 1:10 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, What's a Henry?, penned by Graciela

One of Jane's brothers--probably the brother to whom she was closest--was named Henry. I always think of this as something that she knew her family would find amusing because of their brother.

In one of her letters to Cassandra, she also refers to him as "Oh, what a Henry!"
