Summary
Sending her love to him and to Mrs. Field; saying "We think of you constantly, and talk of you so - How I wish that we could see you! If [illegible] we could have crossed the Atlantic for any one, it would have been for you - There's a big compliment for you; When all Americans are so charming, and we love so many so dearly. The silver salt-cellars appeared at a full-dressed lunch we gave; and did look so beautiful - We think them too lovely to be knocking about on our writing table; because all the sulphurous acid gas of Manchester tarnishes silver exposed to the air at once."
