[Rome]

[ca. 6 April 1854] [1]

My dear Mrs Kemble I was really refreshed by the pleasure you brought me last night—it was a breath of out-door air .. & not without violets!

I wish Robert were as well as I am today, for Rome is visiting him with atrocious headache in spite of all.

As to saturday .. oh, if it is possible, I will go with you—there are few things I should like so much. Let me agree to go then, unless, within or without me, some obstacle should arise to hinder.

Your affectionate

EBB–

Publication: None traced.
