When I heard from you that you had heard nothing, I mentioned the circumstance to Mrs.Jameson in a letter I was writing to her, and I do hope she has not neglected since to give you some information at least.
You are aware probably of the excellent effect with which that kind Mrs.Procter has managed a private subscription in behalf of dear Mrs.Jameson, in consequence of which she will be placed in circumstances of ease for the rest of her life.
Fanny Kemble nobly gave a hundred pounds towards this good purpose.
Mrs. Jameson spoke in her last letter of coming to Italy this summer, and I dare say we shall have the ill luck to lose her, miss her, cross her _en route_, perhaps. We hear from dear Mr.Kenyon and from Miss Bayley; each very well and full of animation.
If it were not for them, and my dear sisters, and one or two other hands I shall care to clasp (beside the spirits!) I would give much not to go north.
