My dear Mrs Browning

Here is one word of bulletin as you desired. All is going on as well as can be.

To this one word let me add another—that is how very grateful your little note & Browning’s epilogue made me. I began to read it to my wife but could not get on with it, so I put it away by her bedside & she shall read it as soon as she reads anything[.]

Ever yours & your husband’s

A Tennyson
