Dearest Emily
Will you receive & see something of my Sweet little American friend Mrs. Hunt, who is bright & appreciative enough to please even you. If you find her worth is as I think she is, will you - for me - [continue?] that she should see Swinborne & JW Carlyle & if he comes to England, Mazzini, & any body clever & nice Enough for you to want to her to see. She is not a lion hunter, but comes here with a hunger for seeing her heroes & heroines & hearing them talk, which you can help to [relieve?] If I were going to be in England, I would not bother you so much, but in this I ask you to do for me what I would do for you.
Mrs. Hunt is a sweet & charming writer, & I am sure you will like her - will you ask William & Mrs. Ashurst to know her - she will not do [violence?] to your introduction as you will see, & I am very desirous of helping her to a more intimate knowledge of the bright lights in this Island..
God bless you dear
& believe me ever
Your loving
[Duckling the 1st?]
