Your reading of the letter is understandable, but assumes that she really intended the remark ironically rather than as a sincere request.

variant reading; textual variant

Die abweichende Lesart in der älteren Ausgabe veränderte den Sinn der Passage so deutlich, dass wir beide Fassungen nebeneinanderlegen mussten.

The variant reading in the older edition changed the meaning of the passage so significantly that we had to place the two versions side by side.
