However, the only letter we witness Anne "writing" in the course of the novel is the one she dictates to Wentworth.
Croft's, and Captain Harville's "letters" to Anne and Wentworth; Wentworth's letter to Anne; and Anne's "letters" to herself--suggest that Persuasion's "revolution" is a return to its eighteenth century origins, a return borne out of Austen's need to adapt the epistolary form to then-contemporary social and literary realities.

The Browns' file of response letters from various institutions, foundations, and professionals in the field of Egyptology who have never heard of Nelson and cannot verify any of his purported achievements should alone put to rest his claim to be a well-known professional in that field.
