the Chiid-tDOmdn, as | call her After three
months daily intercourse, | cannot say less
than that have never known more charm
ing and loveable person. Her character is a
pleasing and piquant combination of qualities
rarely combined-enthusiasm, with steady per-
severance, refined tastes with playful and exu-
berant spirits, poetry with sound good sense.
She is thoroughly original and independent,
without extravaganza or pretension of any
kinda simple, earnest truthful girl. whose
sttong and cheerful heart is the peer and ally
of her active and comprehensive intellect. She
makes her kindly and generous spirit felt by
those around her, more sensibly than even her
genius and in the brilliant and peculiar career
before her, she will ever be followed, as well by
loving pride as by admiring interest.
In my next, will speak particularly OF the
works of American artists now in Rome.
