than ever, and the Principal of Brasenose played the

My dearest Charlotte, — I received your letter of 

 the 6th inst., together with the pair of slippers ; the 

 latter are the very thing that is required when occasion 

 again arises. 



Ever since you left we have been having Italian 

 weather, the only objection to which being, that for 

 my taste the sunshine is too continuous. 



We have had stajdng with us Professor Palgrave 

 and his daughter. I am going to take her to the 

 Conversazione of the Eoyal Society on Wednesday 

 next, as Ethel is going to stay behind for her political 

 work. We have also had Lord Justice Ery, with 

 his wife and daughter, staying with us for two or 

 three days. 



I have got a promise from Professor Huxley to give 

 the second Eomanes Lecture, provided he is able to 

 do so next year. It will be an interesting occasion if 

 he can, because he has not lectured for the last five or 

 six years. 



I am glad you like my book, which is selhng off 

 very well ; but, as you know, the second volume will 

 be much more interesting. 



We are all well, and, with united love to both, I 

 remain yours ever the same, 



Geo. J. Eomanes,
