To Fanny Keats, 20th December 1819 Wentworth Place

My dear Fanny;

When I saw you last, you asked me whether you should see me again before Christmas—You would have seen me if I had been quite well.

I have not, though not unwell enough to have prevented me—not indeed at all—but fearful lest the weather should affect my throat which on exertion or cold continually threatens me—by the advise of my doctor I have had a warm great coat made and have ordered some thick shoes—so furnished I shall be with you if it holds a little fine before Christmas day.

I am, ever, my dear Sister 

Yours affectionately 

John Keats
