Parke has surely told Elizabeth about the trip home. Ped [Angela] is fatter than ever. Lorenzo is sick with influenza and misses Agnes. She feels loss of Agnes severely. Nelly regrets "the persecutions I was obliged to afflict her with." Mr. Lewis is resigned to the death. She wishes she had seen the spot where Agnes was buried and asks Elizabeth to visit it and describe how it looks.
