Casa [ Silva, Silver ? ]
Thursday 6th Dec

Dear Mrs Browning,
Thanks for sending me the
names, I find I had already
the same cap patterns, but it
looked so pretty on your baby's
head I did not recognize it
& am very sorry the nurse
did not come up stairs with
him, if you send her again
will you tell her to do so,
that she may exchange a few
looks with mine, I think
babies seem amazed at one
another, they are not in
haste to make acquaintance,
probably they still feel
what a world lies hidden
in each person, they are not

but it is only the millionth time I have let occasions pass
when suffering fellow men might have been soothed
or helped pardon that the leap is veiled I had
not [delivered ? ] it, Ever
truly yours
M. Ossoli
