I am so very sorry for your increased anxiety about your sister.

I scarcely know how to cheer you, or, rather, to attempt such a thing, but it did strike me that she was full of life when I saw her.

It may be better with her than your fears, after all.

If you would come to us, you would be here in two hours from Leghorn; and there's a telegraph at Leghorn--at Florence.

Think of it, do.
