Summary
Concerning the improving health of Alexander's "Mammina," Lucia Gray Swett Alexander, noting that "every night she is worse, and every morning better; but still, each day finds her somewhat stronger than the day before." Also hoping that her "Fratello," John Ruskin, is "gaining always" in health.
