http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/426039562

Concerning the health of Swett's "Di Pa," John Ruskin, noting that if Severn is with him when "the restlessness and excitement come, the terrible scenes of last spring might be renewed." Discussing his recovery "out of England," and hoping that "if he conquers this time, he may be safe from violent attacks." Also discussing Severn's adolescent daughter, Lily, alluding to her late-starting period, and noting that while "she must not study much, riding on horseback and dancing are much esteemed in America for one of her age."
