Thanking Severn for her "good advice" to destroy the correspondence between Alexander and her "Fratello," John Ruskin, noting that she has "already burnt several" letters and is "resolved to destroy everything ... which could possibly give pain to anyone, or which he himself, or [Severn] might not wish to be preserved," and intends "to leave nothing behind [her] that might be unfit for a stranger's eye." Also noting the health of Alexander's "Mammina," Lucia Gray Swett Alexander.
