[Rome]

Saturday– [?18 February] [1854] [1]

My dearest Mrs Braun,

As you speak of putting off yourself it seems to both of us here wiser to decide at once on it, the weather being so very problematical– Then let us say the sunday after tomorrow,—if we may choose among sundays. In addition to the rain I have a headache—& the delay altogether may be better– Thank you for all your consideration from

Your affectionate (as ever)

EBB.

Publication: None traced.

Manuscript: Fitzwilliam Museum.

1. Conjectural date suggested by EBB’s reference to the rain and the “problematical” weather. In letter 3344 she remarks on the “rain yesterday” (the 18th) and the weather that is keeping her inside.
