The end of it all is, that Robert has accepted office as Landor's guardian (!!) and is to 'see to him' at the request of his family in England; and there's to be an arrangement for Wilson to undertake him in a Florence apartment, which she is pleased at.

He visited the Storys, who are in a villa here (the only inhabitants), and were very kind to him.

Now he is in rooms in a house not far from us, waiting till we return to Florence.

I have seen him only once, and then he looked better than he did in Florence, where he seemed dropping into the grave, scarcely able to walk a hundred yards.

He longs for England, but his friends do not encourage his return, and so the best that can be done for him must be.
