Dearest Aunt Nina,

It might happen that you called on us & found less even than usual: just a word, therefore, to apprise you that we go to Ventnor th<is> morning suddenly (that Ba may be with her sister) & thence to Cowes for a few days if Mr Kenyon’s health admits of it: in any case, we return, I should say, in a fortnight or sooner– Ba is still upstairs, but I write for her, with all loves, as for

Yours affectionately

ever,

R Browning.
