Summary
Mentioning recent visitors, and discussing his anguish at the upcoming departure of Emma [Isola, his adopted daughter]. Asking Mr. and Mrs. Hood to "come and comfort" him and Mary after she leaves. Noting that he would have invited them sooner, but that "I have lived so long alone, that more than one or two persons here together at this unhinging time of Emma's going would make me ill."
