Up to this time we have lived _perdus_ from all our acquaintances because of our misfortunes.

With my husband's cordial regards, I remain most truly yours always, ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING.
The publishers are directed to send you the volumes on their publication.

How pleasant, dearest Mona Nina, to hear you, though the voice sounds far! Try and come back to us soon, and let us talk, or listen, rather, to your talking.

Why shouldn't _I_, too, have a sister of charity, like others?
I appeal to you.
Still, I have only good to tell you of myself.

I am better through the better weather and through our arrival in this apartment, where, as Robert says, we are as pleased as if we had never lived in a house before.

Well, I assure you the rooms are perfect in comfort and convenience; not large, but _warm_, and of a number and arrangement which exclude all fault-finding.
