[Rome]

[?29 April 1859] [1]

Dearest Sophie, I am better & will go to you tonight.

How good you have been to me in all this care for me, & this writing of notes–

But I am much better this morning than was at all probable yesterday.

In true love your

1. Conjectural dating based on the probability that EBB again refers to her tiredness from the excursion to Tivoli (see letter, 4388, note 1). By the end of letter 4390, she was “in a state of resurrection.”
