Also, Count de Paris<\/a>, \u2015 smoking a cigar, just in the narrow boarded bit of house repairing opposite [Bakeley] St. in Piccadilly. Not content with recognizing me, he walked back as far as Arlington St. & then, as I told him I had lost my sister, he went back. He is undoubtedly the nicest youth \u02c7[(of that \u201calto rango\u201d)]1<\/a><\/sup> I have known for many a long day. He says the Queen<\/a> is not so ill.<\/p>\n X<\/p>\n [Transcribed by Marco Graziosi from Houghton Library, Harvard University, MS Eng. 797.3.]<\/span><\/p>\n
