I really admire her very much, and hope that her life may not fall below its beginning.
"Let me hear as soon as a word reaches you.

I am with charming people, and yet I think longingly of the delightful evenings at Villa Sannazaro, your music and your talk.

You and your husband have a great place in my heart; you are of the salt of the earth.

Spare me a little affection, for I am again a lonely woman." This letter also was discussed, and its philosophy appreciated.
