Thursday [?December 1854] [1]

Will you come to us tomorrow evening my dear Mrs Kinney, to meet Miss Blagden and keep your promise of giving us a great pleasure? I would have reminded you of it before if we had not all of us been rather unwell. Do come early—before eight, if possible.

Affectionately yours

Elizabeth B Browning.
