My dear Mrs Browning,

Many summer days to come for you and yours and all living, I do hope, yet not many for him and me in this particular house, tho’ if it please God the brightest still in another but on some at least of these I shall be a prisoner, [2] it will rejoice me to know you are many times with him meanwhile but before we go to South St. on the 15th it would be a great pleasure to us to see yourself and Mr Browning here and the earlier the day the better. Will you fix one for yourselves if Friday does not suit you.

Believe me my dear Mrs Browning

Most sincerely yours

Emily Tennyson
