2885. EBB to Isa Blagden

As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 16, 220.

Casa Guidi.

Tuesday morning– [?29 October] [1850] [1]

We think it best to send you the copy of ‘Christmas Eve’ we have attained to as Mr Phillipson’s [2] copy lingers—and Robert bids me say that if the leaves are cut, a few of the errors are corrected, which makes some amends. Dear Miss Blagden, let us see you soon—but I shall pay my visit, of course–

Ever affectionately yours

EBB–

Publication: None traced.

Manuscript: Fitzwilliam Museum.
