http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/435594247

Thanking Ward for the letter of credit and snuff, and discussing the confusing currency in Italy. Noting that Caroline [Graves] is feeling better, and that Caroline junior (Harriet Graves) "astonishes the Roman public by the essentially British plumpness of her cheeks and calves." Describing how Collins "encountered the Pope yesterday," mentioning that as the Pope was driven by in his coach he was "comforting himself with a pinch of snuff," and that this aroused in Collins a feeling "of sympathy with his holiness which no words can describe." Wishing Ward could be in Rome also, and expressing shock at the news of Thackeray's death.
