I shall write again to-night,—but I cannot be more then than now, nor less ever than now
Your own
Ba.
Here is a coincidence. Hardly had you left me, when, passing near the table at the end of the room, I saw a parcel there. Remember your question about the ‘Year of the World’ Precisely that! With a note, the counterpart of yours—desiring an opinion!
May God bless you, dear, dear!—Did I ever think I should live to thank God that I did not die five years ago?—Not that I quite, quite dare to do it yet. I must be sure first of something.
Which is not your love, my beloved—it is a something still dearer and of more consequence.

‘Though placed between the beauties of sea and land, of cultivated and rude nature, the city is so unhealthy that its richer inhabitants remove to Vietri during the hot months. In proof of its bad air, I remark here a number of apothecaries!’
