_R.B. to E.B.B._
Monday, 7 P.M.
[Post-mark, August 19, 1845.]
I this moment get your note--having been out since the early
morning--and I must write just to catch the post. You are pure
kindness and considerateness, _no_ thanks to you!--(since you will
have it so--). I choose Friday, then,--but I shall hear from you
before Thursday, I dare hope? I have all but passed your house
to-day--with an Italian friend, from Rome, whom I must go about with a
little on weariful sight seeing, so I shall earn Friday.
