would have been as king to him as if she was her brother I know - I can't bear to think of him left entirely alone among strangers after Mr. Adisson leaves for Europe - and I shall be gone to country then too - My plans are postponed for the present - & as for Nancy I hope has already set sail from England for America - and that of course is the great event of the summer for me - and all my arrangements will be modified by that - but mean time I keep at work - grinding out picture afer [[after]]
