Anna Austen Lefroy

Anna Lefroy (née Jane Anna Elizabeth Austen; 1793–1872) was the niece of Jane Austen by her eldest brother James Austen, and a contributor to her life-history via the so-called Lefroy MS.

A keen if amateur writer herself, Anna was the recipient of the most revealing of Austen's letters on literary matters.[1]
