    We have spent much time among the classical antiquities here, the old Roman Forum, Palace of the Caesars, Colisseum, Pantheon, columns, arches, walls, & Also in visiting St. Peter's & other churches, galleries of paintings and statuary, villas, public gardens, parks, &c. We have of course been very busy & enjoyed it as we expected.
    My health is good, much better than when I left home.  I am quite strong now, & bear the journey well.  Mr. Thompson's health is also much better.  Henry & unknown are also well.
    I feel the loss of home & fine friends very much.  Wish they & you could be here with me.  I feel very grateful for the opportunity, & trust it will be a benefit to me.  Next week we expect to go to Naples for two weeks, then return by way of Florence, Venice, Geneva, & to Paris; then to England & Scotland.  We are not yet able to tell what other places we shall try
