I have been ill, but what could you expect? My lines,
however, have again fallen in pleasant places. Mrs. Da Vega is young, handsome,
and agreeable, a kind and perfect hostess; and as to the house, my room is all
that I could ask and leaves nothing to be desired; so very fresh, clean, warm,
and comfortable is it. It is the drawing-room suddenly made into a bedroom for
me. But it is my very own. We are among the civilized of the earth once more.
