  I send you today the remainder and end of "The Aspern Papers"—the Tale in two parts of which I sent you the First and a portion of the Second Part about ten days ago (on the 12th ult.). I wrote to you at some length about the story on that occasion—so that there is nothing now to add save the hope the accompanying may quickly and safely rejoin its predecessor. Ever yours

  Eccomi, carissima Regina1, nothing much new, except the campanile2 and the bric-à-brac. My mother is just the same, the old house quite as you recall it. Even Mancini3 is coming to see me this afternoon. [...] Mrs. Eden has broken her leg and will be lame for life. He is handsomer than ever, a Padre Eterno! The exhibition is odious4. There is no good taste left, outside pastrycook's.
  From here I go to B.B.s. In Paris he gave himself the most expensive object he ever bought, a Chinese scroll of exquisite beauty, and he is now absorbed in Tang poetry!5 Russell's6 company is "making good" in Paris. Smart Parisians will never make it popular with their set, but the few who love music and foreigners will make it pay... apparently. Dumas told our national Emma7: "En France nous aimons la musique militaire et les Chansonnettes". John's picture of James8 can be repaired and will get the Victoria cross for distinguished service. Henry now looks like a kind Cardinal, doesn't he. Every hotel and lodging in Venice is full. As soon as it gets warmer beds will be put in gondolas. Morton Prince9 and our national Edith are now at "I Tatti". How serious a savant do you take him to be? Goodbye my dear. Ever your affectionate slave 
  Many interesting people have been at Pal[azzo] Barbaro during our time. The most so was Robert Browning who constantly dined here, during his many visits to Venice—and whose doings and sayings D.S.C. recorded1. Then a frequent guest was J.A. Symonds2—a delightful companion—and dear Henry James—who often stayed with us. John Sargent3 has very often been a visitor—always most welcome—and many lesser artists from "Carolus" Duran4 down came here when Ralph lived with us. Empress F[rederic]k5 came to tea three or four times with her daughter. Also the present Queen of Sweden6—then Crown Princess—Princess Christian7, and her daughter—and Princess Charlotte of Meiningen8, all interesting to me as children and grandchildren of the beloved Louisa9.
