608. RB to John Kenyon [1]
As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 4, 7.
Camberwell
Jan 11. [1838]
My dear Sir,
I shall be delighted to dine with you to-morrow week: had I guessed you were a house-keeper thus long, something more substantial than a card should have assured you how much I am,
Yours very faithfully,
R Browning.
My father sends his kindest regards—and will assuredly see you this season, I hope.
Publication: None traced.
Manuscript: Armstrong Browning Library.
1. Correspondent inferred from letter 569. As it was RB’s habit to include his full address early in a correspondence, and thereafter to shorten it, the presumption is that this letter was written later than no. 569.
