As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 7, 217.

[London]

[Postmark: 3 July 1843]

I obey an impulse enclosing to you a page or two of a letter just received by me from a female friend [1] who has great sensibility for poetry & is in such bad health that she can write only lying down & with a pencil. You will care for her enthusiasm I fancy—& it belongs to you–

Truly yours

EBB.

Address: R H Horne Esqr / 36. New Broad Street / City.

Publication: None traced.

Manuscript: Pierpont Morgan Library.

1. Enclosed were three pages of the letter from Katherine Cockell (no. 1307).
