Thanking him for a package; discussing the weather and hotel and generally describing his visit to Rome. Extracting portions of a letter from Madame de la Rue in which she describes a terrible dream and discussing his mesmerism of her, noting "she is now in a state most favorable and advantageous to the best influence The Mesmerism could possibly exert upon her." Asking for news about her, and saying he will write to her "to urge her again, to have no secret whatever from me." Fearing that the dream will return and cause her to call a halt to the Mesmerism. Apologizing for his poor penmanship, noting "it was a better hand once, before I wrote books."
