Phylly Walter had met the Austens when they dined in Sevenoaks, and writing to her brother James on 23 July 1788, she announced that on that visit she “began an acquaintance with [her ] two fe - male cousins” but that she had not been impressed by her “whimsical and affected” cousin Jane, who was “not at all pretty & very prim” (Le Faye 8 6-88). 1 Cousin Eliza, a spirited and e ffusive letter writer, documents the Austens’ visit to London quite superficially in a letter to Phylly dated 22 August 1788. In one short paragraph , Eliza praises Mr. Austen’s “Looks” and amiability and ends her paragraph enigmatically , or perhaps diplomatically, telling Phylly, “I believe it was your first acquaintance with Cassandra & Jane” (88).
