Villa Albain, Castel Gandolfo

July 30th 1852.

Dear Mr. Norton,

Your most welcome & friendly letter came to me just as we were on the point of leaving Rome for the country …

Our friends the Blacks are in Switzerland for the summer, they propose to return to Rome for the coming winter when probably the theatrical mania will revive & rage again with more or less violence– Mr Black is quite bound up in the matter—his wonderful memory & extravagant love of the English Drama finds now for the first time the field for its exercise. …

Do you ever hear from Mr Kenyon? I have lost a long letter from Mrs Browning, it was sent to America under an address to Boston, but somehow it never came to me– …

Address: Charles Eliot Norton Esq / Cambridge / Massachusetts / United States of America.
