2632. EBB to Thomas Westwood
As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 14, 58.
Pisa.
Novr 24– [1846] [1]
Not dead & forgotten, dear Mr Westwood .. no indeed! why can you think so of your friends, who lose your direction, & then look east & west in vain for you? If it had not been for that, you should have had some of my old notes from me, even if they struck an uncertain sound, through the agitation of causes which you may well deduce from my new name. In the meanwhile my sister sends your kind word of remembrance to Pisa to me, where I am very well & very happy, & very glad to remember you. More glad I should be if you had told me something of yourself & what you were doing & writing—? [2] In haste I slip this paper into my answer to my sister’s letter, begging her if she has your address which she did not send me, (she copied your note written on overthick paper, & let me have no address with it.) to forward to you what is written here.
Most truly I remain
your friend
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
