Content Description

Hosmer tells Gibson how lonely she feels without him. She imagined him on his travels, arriving happily in England when he saw their "Mutual Beloved". Miss Lloyd had left for Switzerland. It was not unlikely that Gibson might see Miss Cushman in England. Hosmer sent her love to Mr Boxall. She had had her statue photographed. Gibson would be delighted with her little model of the fountain for Lady Marian.
