Dearest Isa,

Ba was not so well yesterday, & had a bad night: this morning she is a little better perhaps but very weak & quite unable to speak– The Doctor never came yesterday. I will somehow let you know how things go in the course of the day. And you,—how sorry we are that you are so unwell! We shall leave Florence the minute we can– Ever yours,

RB.
