Dear Madam, [1]

I am just returned to England after an absence of two months, and am sorry indeed that your letter should have waited me so long.

You are quite welcome to the use of the poems you specify. As for the Portraits,—my own is not worth withholding from any body, particularly as disguised by the photographer: but where will you find the other one?

Pray believe me, Dear Madam,

Yours very faithfully

Robert Browning.
