Saturday– [11 October 1856] [1]
My dear Mr Hunt,
I heard from Mrs Jago yesterday that there was a chance for us, for one day in the coming week. Shall it be tuesday? What pleasure we shall have on tuesday in that case!
We shall hope for it, at least—& we may certainly besides be very glad that you are partially loosed from the bonds of your anxiety about Mrs Hunt.
Let me remain with affectionate thoughts from both of us
your grateful
Elizabeth B Browning.
And when you come I will try to correct the carelessness of the bookseller in respect to the books. [2]
