3806. EBB to Jane Wills-Sandford

As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 22, 251.

[Paris]

Tuesday morning. [?24] [June 1856] [1]

Dearest Jane, thank you! How good you are! But unfortunately Penini, who would be delighted to go with you, is engaged to spend the day with his grandpapa–

What lovely weather at last! Air & sun together.

Your ever affectionate

EBB–

Publication: None traced.

Manuscript: Armstrong Browning Library.

1. Conjectural date suggested by EBB’s reference to Pen’s being unable to go on an outing with Miss Wills-Sandford. Letter 3807 seems to indicate that the outing took place the following day.
