Henrietta Marchant Liston to Dick Ramage, 6 March 1813 In which Henrietta Marchant Liston, married to diplomat Robert Liston, writes to her nephew about her experience so far in Constantinople. "We are out of your world it is true; but we are in the Oriental one." Many thanks to BOTH of this week's guests, Dora Petherbridge and Patrick Hart, two of the editors of Henrietta Liston's journals.
