Autograph letter signed : Venice, to "Mia "other" amata," 1889 July 1.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/426917896

Referencing the loss of Lily (not Lily Severn), asking whether she was the child of the recipient's sister's daughter or daughter-in-law, noting that the recipient appears "to be so equally fond of [her] relatives by birth and marriage, that [Swett is] sometimes unable to distinguish between them." Hoping that the recipient's own Lily (Lily Severn?) will not take the loss "too much to heart." Wondering whether the recipient was "created with such an unusually happy disposition because it was to be [her] destiny to live among tragedies." Noting that Marina has arrived in Venice, and sending love for "dearest Doanie" (Joan Severn).
