Let me remember whom I have seen.
Mrs.Newton Crosland, who spoke of you very warmly; Miss Mulock, who wrote 'The Ogilvies' (that series of novels), and is interesting, gentle, and young, and seems to have worked half her life in spite of youth; Mr.Field we have not seen, only heard of; Miss -- --, no--but I am to see her, I understand, and that she is an American Corinna in yellow silk, but pretty.

We drove out to Kensington with Monckton Milnes and his wife, and I like her; she is quiet and kind, and seems to have accomplishments, and we are to meet Fanny Kemble at the Procters some day next week.

Many good faces, but the best wanting.

Ah, I wish Lord Stanhope, who shows the spirits of the sun in a crystal ball, could show us _that_!
