Expressing her delight at receiving his letter and hearing he is well; saying she and Ned [Edward Burne-Jones] visited his house and how much she enjoyed seeing where he lived in London; saying they "learnt, to our grief, that poor Gabriel [Rossetti] destroyed the whole precious bookful [of poems] this last miserable Spring, and so unless he ever re-writes them (which wouldn't be very like him) they are lost, except such few as already have seen the world in print or have planted themselves in the memory of those who love him and them. Swinburne knows more than anyone else and he was good enough the other evening to tell me some--which, together with those I had already, you shall have;" reporting on Ned's [Edward Burne-Jones] work and his health; relating news of their son's first birthday.
