Addendum to The Brownings’ Correspondence, vol. 16.

Florence,

Jan 2. ’51.

My dear Chorley,

Will you let me commend to your kind notice & appreciation the bearer of this, Sig. Ciardi, [1] very famous here & elsewhere as a flautist?– He is a Florentine,—(another good quality—) and will be able to give you the freshest account of musical matters in Italy.

Ever yours faithfully,

Robt Browning
