The Society agreed,and the hair is now in the Jane Austen House at Chawton.But Mrs Burke' s collection of Austen' s letters and manuscripts(手稿）was donated to the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York, combined with other letters purchased for the library.

Having kept the hair and lost the handwriting,English Janeites may cast envious glances towards New York, where an exhibition of letters and manuscripts, together with first and early illustrated editions of Austen' s novels and other related material,currently occupies part of the Morgan. A good modern edition of Austen' s letters was published by R. W. Chapman in 1932 and updated in 1952; in 1995,Deirdre Le Faye re-edited the collection for Oxford University Press. It represents a small fraction of Austen' s output, estimated to have been around 3,000 letters,mostly written to her sister Cassandra.

Nevertheless, much of interest remains. Visitors may not read all seventeen letters on display. But those with the eyes to focus will be able to find evidence of Austen' s sharp tongue,as when a neighbour' s wife is discovered to be "everything that the Neighbourhood could wish her,silly and cross".We can see her sense of the ridiculous, her talent for
