3417. Frances Anne Kemble to EBB

As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 20, 218.

[Rome]

[mid-May 1854] [1]

Dear Mrs Browning—

fifty scudi will cover your share of our posting to Siena in a comfortable carriage– Of course there would still remain our expenses on the road to consider. I suppose we must sleep two nights between this & Siena– Consult with your half and let me know if you think we can go together[.]

Your affectionate

Fanny

1. Dating based on Fanny Kemble’s suggestion of travelling to Siena together. She and the Brownings left Rome on 26 May, though not together (see letter 3430).
