Blessed Mrs. Stanley --

I just received your
dear letter of the 26 Augt.
from Meran, when I was
leaving [ ? ] -- and full
as my heart was then of
all I felt on that occasion
I took care not to open
your letter before I
arrived here - well
knowing how every one
of your words sink down
deep down into my soul
and I could not receive
more impressions than
