“ Villa Pisane -Lucca 20 Dec 1868 My Dear Dr Loew I am sorry to learn by your’s rec yesterday, that you also are deprived by circumstance, of much of the pleasure to which one is accustomed to look forward in the family assembled above the hearth at Christmas.

“ With such weather, and such roads, I have not the conscience to encourage Mr Stainton to come out here to visit me, on his way to Rome; the more so as his wife is with him, and there is no lady here to welcome her. So I intend, instead, to run up to Florence at the beginning of next month, too see him and Dohrn there and [hear more] of the actual progress of the Journal for the lst quarter, of which there is more than enough MS on hand. ”
