| Transcript or Index | My dear Sir,
Will you be so kind as to send the
enclosed in the twopenny Post.
Italy is seldom out of my mind -
I talked much with Roger about it; and
al[so w]ith George - but I have taken no
steps yet - indeed my Daughter has
been so very poorly since you were here
[t]hat I could not entertain any settled pl[an]
thank heaven she is now very much bet[ter]
but far from well occasioning us some alarm
we with [...?] regard to your sister,
Miss Sherwood[?] & yourself from all here
I remain my dear Sharp
faithfully yours
W Wordsworth
22 Nobr 1820
Rydal Mount
[on reverse]
My dear Sir
W cavalierly desires me to put up
the enclosed without his requesting you
to have the kindness to send the two inelegant
looking notes to the 2d Post - but he hurries off
with Dora who has mounted her Poney, & they are
gone together to enjoy the sunshine & seek strength.
Dora's gradual restoration affords us sunshine within
doors which has been overcast for the last 2 months
very sincerely your obliged
M Wordsworth |
