We go to Paris for a week or two, and then to Florence, and then to Rome, and then to Naples; but we shall be back next year, if God pleases, and then I shall seize an early summer day to run down straight to you and find you stronger, if God blesses me so far.

Think of me and love me a little meanwhile.

I shall do it by you.

And do, _do_--since there is no time to hear from you in London--send a fragment of a note to Arabel for me, that I may have it in Paris before we set out on our long Italian journey.

Let me have the comfort of knowing exactly how you are before we set out.
