Ravenna, Tuesday, August 14th, 1821.
My dearest Love,
I accept your kind present of your picture, and wish you would get it prettily framed for me. I will wear, for your sake, upon my heart this image which is ever present to my mind.
I have only two minutes to write, the post is just setting off. I shall leave this place on Thursday or Friday morning. You would forgive me for my longer stay, if you knew the fighting I have had to make it so short. I need not say where my own feelings impel me.
It still remains fixed that Lord Byron should come to Tuscany, and, if possible, Pisa; but more of that to-morrow.
Your faithful and affectionate,
S.
TO MRS. SHELLEY.
Ravenna, Wednesday [Aug. 15, 1821].
My dearest Love,
