Dearest Boy
Many thanks for the list. It has been just the thing in reminding me of [Al pi'e8 d'un Salice] and of [Per piet'e0.] 335 The latter was an early love of mine. I picked it out with delight in Knight's collection when I had no one else's taste as a finger-post, and there is a peculiar pleasure in finding one's independent impressions afterwards warranted by the best judgments. [Che far'f2] and [Ho perduto] I have already used in [Mr. Gilfil's Love Story] 336 -- having heard Johanna Wagner sing them at Berlin when in her glory there.
Pater came back to dinner yesterday after a very pleasant [Schmaus] of Physiology at Cambridge. Best love to all from
Your loving
Mutter.
You have not said whether Gertrude has got back her voice, but I gathered that she had from what she said of the effect the air at St. Maurice had upon it.
