[Rome]
[ca. mid-March 1859] [1]
Impossible, dearest Sophie– I am better, but even if it were as warm as it is’nt, I should have been afraid to go this morning, so unwell I felt in the night– Not that I am unwell now, dear–
Now this cold saves half one’s regrets–
Thank the horses for stopping—thank you for waiting for me.
Ever in love
your Ba.
Address, on integral page: Mrs Eckley.
Publication: None traced.
Manuscript: Berg Collection.
1. Approximate dating suggested by EBB’s reference to the uncertain weather and her implication that she has turned down a carriage ride.
