Summary
Worrying about her "constant anxiety" and fearing to ask how Ruskin is doing; hoping that she is able to take some pleasure in the "turn of the weather;" relating news of her daughter's time in Italy; remembering it was twenty-seven years prior that she was in Italy with "the blessed Oldie" [Ruskin]; saying that Edward [Burne-Jones] is not exhibiting this spring but is still quite busy; sending her love.
