Did you follow the directions I sent you from Sir Philip Crampton [?] just before you sailed? you see by the date of this, that I am with our dear good&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;[page 2] friends the Bennochs. I had a very happy time in Ireland and a glorious litter tour in Scotland, as you will see by my "Era" correspondence. I cannot say just when I shall leave this for the continent but suppose in the course of a fortnight. I will write you again before &lt;span style="text-decoration-line: line-through;"&gt;sailing&lt;/span&gt; leaving [inserted] or from Paris. Bayard Taylor is to be in town on the 10th&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;[page 3] for a short time only. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Delf [?] and Imbner [?] have imported some of my books from Putnam. and have given me a copy of The &lt;u&gt;Pets&lt;/u&gt; and &lt;u&gt;+++&lt;/u&gt;. for Mary Howitt who will notice them. will you send &lt;span style="text-decoration: line-through;"&gt;them&lt;/span&gt; as soon as you can a copy of each of these books to make up for those I take. I promised &lt;span style="text-decoration: line-through;"&gt;him&lt;/span&gt; Imbner [?] that you would. I am well with the exception of a cough &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;which goads me toward Italy. The Bennochs send love. My most &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>

She is currently staying with the Bennochs and enjoyed her travels in Ireland and Scotland, as mentioned in her &lt;em&gt;Era&lt;/em&gt; correspondence. &lt;br /&gt;Delf and Imbner have imported some of Greenwood's books and copies for Mary Howitt.
