William's letter was thankfully received. On opening JohnLawrence? 's Carleton read sadly of Mr Brooks ' death; he was a friend he could ill afford to lose. William's letter came in Holy week and this week Carleton has been to Frascati and visited Tusculum. Yesterday he was in a party which visited many sights and then to the rosary store. Carleton could not find ebony in Rome, but as he supposed Julia Beers wished them to be blessed by His Holiness, he had a set made of some wood brought from Jerusalem. Carleton was surprised to read in William's letter that Grandmother's Harriet Howland Roosevelt health was indifferent, as Rosy had written that she was quite smart. They have heard nothing of the "Pacific." Carleton hopes his remittance will be along by the 10th. George Doane sends a few words to Rosy. William will send word to Grace Bayley that Papa is well and sends love. Three English gentlemen were received last week. Carleton sends his love to Julia, Rosy, Father and Grandmother. He will leave England about June 1. Aunt Mary Roosevelt has not written a word. It gratifies Carleton to hear such good accounts of her. :: II-2-n A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
