Good-by; God bless you! I shall be very anxious to hear from you; I
sent you a note with my play, telling you I had just got up from
the measles; but as my note has not reached you, I tell you so
again. I am quite well, however, now, and shall not give them to
you by signing myself
Yours most affectionately,
FANNY.
P.S.--I forgot to answer your questions in telling you all this,
but I will do so methodically now. My side-ache is some disturbance
in my liver, evidently, and does not give way entirely either to
physic or exercise, as the slightest emotion, either pleasurable or
painful, immediately brings it on; my blue devils I pass over in
silence; such a liver and my kind of head are sure to breed them.
Certainly I reverence Jeremy Bentham for his philanthropy, plain
powerful sense, and lucid forcible writing; but as for John's
politics, they are, as Beatrice tells the prince he is, "too costly
for every-day wear.
