Expressing gratitude for her letters; saying "I have a life not my own but not an unhappy one: entirely without happiness but not without much rest, pleasure, pride, interested activity and so on. And I hope, much more useful than it could have been if I had got what I wanted--the difference is simply this--had Rose been here I should have been wild for you and Granite to come to see us; now I say 'I am chopping wood and want to get so many faggots made';" saying he's "doing good bookwork and much in "Fors" [Fors Clavigera] correspondence and a good deal in drawing."
