Thanking him for his inquiries. "Mrs. Ruskin makes no progress but she makes a noble stand looks wonderfully well." Ruskin is at Parma, inspecting frescoes. "My own case is the worst, a very material organ having declined any longer to perform its function without frequent aid which if not given the said organ its displeasure in severe spasms-- ... pains night & day have taken flesh entirely away & the object now seems to be to get back more strength ..." He has seen no exhibition and is not likely to, without more rapid improvement. "I do not know why they sent my sons essays away from Cornhill--They would in the end have done them service--I suspect Smith himself was the Alarmist & 100,000 was too much for his head. When the mag. touches 50,000 or 40,000 they may sight for Unto this Last ... I remember weeping on reading Percevals Death-- & being disgusted with a sanctimonious Whig friend writing he was glad of it."
