[Rome]

Friday Evening, Dec. 3rd [1858]

… I met Mr. and Mrs. Browning and Penny yesterday, and had a little chat with them. Mrs. Browning is much better than she was when I saw her in Florence. This evening Miss Cushman, Miss Hosmer and Miss Stebbins called. They are all extremely interesting people. If I had more time to spare, I think I should go into company somewhat this winter; for Rome is full of interesting people. … [Editors’ note: text from transcript at Yale.]
