E.B.B.

No word more of Pisa--I shall not go, I think.

_R.B. to E.B.B._

[Post-mark, September 18, 1845.]

Words!--it was written I should hate and never use them to any

purpose. I will not say one word here--very well knowing neither word

nor deed avails--from me.

My letter will have reassured you on the point you seem undecided

about--whether I would speak &c.

I will come whenever you shall signify that I may ... whenever, acting

in my best interests, you feel that it will not hurt you (weary you in

any way) to see me--but I fear that on Saturday I must be

otherwhere--I enclose the letter from my old foe. Which could not but

melt me for all my moroseness and I can hardly go and return for my

sister in time. Will you tell me?
