Richard Davis Webb will edit "the sketch from Mr. May." He has heard nothing lately about Harriet Martineau, or from Mrs. Turner. Richard Davis Webb has been anxious about his elder daughter Deborah, who has a low fever, "a rather prevalent complaint just now in the country." He recalls the thirteen days he spent in Rome last April with "the grandest of the Weston sisters."
