Summary
To his FatherMay, 1827.
My dear papa,—I have missed you very much especially on Sunday for though I do miss you on the evenings yet I miss you more on sunday mamma is always thinking of you for when she fills miss deprey's cup she only puts in the milk and sugar and leaves the rest to miss depreey. I have changed very much in my lessons for while mary was with me I said them very ill every day but now I almost say them very well every day. we are perhaps going to make a balloon to-day perhaps not for a good while, just as I was thinking what to say to you, I turned by chance to your picture, and it came into my mind now what can I say to give pleasure to that papa, the weather is at present very beautiful, though cold. I have nothing more to say to you dear papa.—Your affectionate son,
John Ruskin.
Mamma says that I may tell you I have been a very good boy while you have been away.
WALES
That rock with waving willows on its side
That hill with beauteous forests on its top
That stream that with its rippling waves doth glide
And oh what beauties has that mountain got
That rock stands high against the sky
Those trees stand firm upon the rock
and seem as if they all did lock
Into each other; tall they stand
Towering above the whitened land.
