Mrs Dilberoghue says you have been ill — too ill to send me a note & I have been longing for some word — are you better? I had hoped the winter would be friendly to you. & that you would heal[?], but you must have begun Early. & I have the sorrow to love you & not be able to keep you! Can you not write a little pencil note. just a word & Enclose it to my brother — who will send it [227 reverse] to me in one of his letters — a word under your own hand will bless me!

When will women learn how little they can do. in such ways?  The Italian cause. moves as the master in Paris wills[?]. Rome — is I fear — many years from being the capital of a United Italy. The democratic element is in the ascendant through all the world — just at the moment. but in Europe — this democracy is content to be constitutional How very near we seemed to blows. at one time. but it is postponed. It may be a long day. but it will come surely. I find my people stirred to their souls. at the evident sympathy with our rebels. which exists [sic] among you.
