Summary
Acknowledging receipt of her announcement with deep interest but surprise, though he could not help seeing how much she occupied Mr. Ruskin's thoughts. He dreads having her go into the less religious atmosphere of the great world, but is glad that her future husband "has no blind deference to its ways and maxims." That theirs has not been a "momentary affection is a good pledge for your mutual happiness." He will write Ruskin and will keep her secret.
