were published in The Times in 1913. Heger instructed his pupils to compose essays in the style of the authors they had been studying; he left the choice of subject-matter to them. He wrote comments on most of these exercises, but there are none on the extant one. The fable, entitled L'Ingratitude, survives together with the four letters, and first saw print in the London Review of Books on 8 March 2012, having been presented by a member of the Heger family to a collector in the form of a small grey album. This contains the manuscript devoir, the four letters, and some photographs.

After her emigration to Oakland in CaliforniaCH
published a story in the Overland Monthly, and planned a whole series of stories both for this publication and for eventual collection in a book. She intended to use her English observations of Amercan life, with some lively ventriloquizing of American expressions, which as used in lively, satirical letters to her eldest son include very mean & real ugly, and real mad (meaning angry).

She had not yet been paid for her story in print, and said she was eager to know how much she would get. I don't write for nothing, she assured her son, and declared her intention of publishing as Mrs. C. Austen Hubback—but some or all of this is a comic assumption of American brashness.

Constrained by her sheltered homelife, the young Julia Ward (later Howe)
found freedom in the world of books and writing. At age eleven, Julia shocked her school teacher when she submitted a book of poems in place of the assigned prose work. Perhaps expecting praise for her originality, Julia was instead admonished for being overly ambitious.
