Dear Caroline,

The parcel came safely & on Friday morning. … I saw William Story & his wife, last week; they give the friendliest pictures of Margaret; that was pleasant,—and describe her agreeable relations with her Italian ladies & with the Brownings, and repeated the story I had heard from the Springs of the first acquaintance with Ossoli. …
