Florence

Dec^r 28^th

My dear Henry,

My dear Henry this second was a mistake but it will do very well so never mind – It is quite certain that we shall not leave Florence till the 16^th so you can best judge what to do – You cannot wish more heartily than I do that we were at Rome but I still continue so unwell that it would be folly to undertake the cold comfortless journey till I am better, we have agreed for our rooms here till the time I have mentioned – so it is not likely we shall move before. – This must be a mere “household letter” as you call it (for I am too headachy to hold a pen or set two ideas together ^<1> so for the present adieu

your aff^y

Jane H Nicholl

I will write a letter on the general state of things soon whenever I am in a fit state to do so

À Monsieur
M W. H. F. Talbot
