[Rome]

[?December 1858] [1]

Thank you dearest kindest Sophie– I will try tomorrow morning if I should have the least little attack—only I dont think it will be necessary—and certainly I shall give it to you to take away when you come—because, you see, dear dear, my own medecine is what suits me, & the evil is constitutional with me & comes & goes.

Yes, I had a messenger from Mrs Story, & she is to drop him at our door– I suppose Peni wished to stay. I concluded that.

Let me see you tomorrow in any case—& love me tonight meanwhile–

Your’s in truest love

Ba
