I shall be charmed to see you and hear how the great Italian pictures looked to you on your last visit but I am likely to be away till about this day week. I have been suffering from a violent cold these last three weeks & do not expect to throw it off without change of air. When you come I will show you an excellent plan of my own whereby you can place your pictures in any light you please.
