Arthur Hugh Clough·1819–1861

o you are really free, and living in quiet at Florence;That is delightful news; you travelled slowly and safely;Mr. Claude got you out; took rooms at Florence before you;Wrote from Milan to say so; had left directly for Milan,Hoping to find us soon;--if he could, he would, you are certain.--Dear Miss Roper, your letter has made me exceedingly happy.You are quite sure, you say, he asked you about our intentions;You had not heard as yet of Lucerne, but told him of Como.--Well, perhaps he will come; however, I will not expect it.Though you say you are sure,--if he can, he will, you are certain.O my dear, many thanks from your ever affectionate Mary.
