Emily Eden,
Letters from India, Volume I — Preface
(1872)
“ I have endeavoured as much as possible to omit all remarks of a personal nature which might be painful to any of Miss Eden’s former friends in Calcutta; and in order to render the narrative more complete, I have inserted several letters written by my aunt, Frances Eden, to one of her oldest friends, who has kindly lent them to me for this purpose. ”
