[Florence]

[?June 1859] [1]

Dearest Sophie, I wrote a little note last night for your servant to take when he came, & he did’nt come. So much the better—for it was a mere sigh of fatigue–

After one, dear. We do not dine till three—& I go out in the evening, as Robert told you– Why are you not well?—— Come & let me see the why & the how– Our love to you all——

Your’s in true love

Ba
