Summary:

Has received the packet of letters and has chosen 28 of them. Quite understands that some of the more personal ones should not be included in the memoir. Her strength does not seem equal to the task. Hopes to show the true events connected with University College. Budget of Paradoxes is ready for the press.

Will send a large number of the remaining letters next week. Would be grateful if she would put them in order. The Budget of Paradoxes [of Augustus De Morgan] has been pleasant but difficult work owing to the printers' strike.
