Kennerly came to the house for
dinner last night, just Mother
he + I as both the children were
dining out. He read to me
for several hours—Keats,
Shelley, and—Robert Bridges
whom he adores. Went to bed
quite early and had a horrid
dream about you—I must
send this off now too get it on
the K.W.II.
You must be sure to faithfully
report everything Agnes

wonderful it must be in Florence—
Ever your devoted and
very loving
Belle
