As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 26, 117.

[Rome]

Sunday [?10] [April 1859] [1]

Thank you, my dear Miss Shepard, thank you. I send the beef-tea,—and will you let me know tomorrow when more shall be wanted? & whether the gelatina made of chicken would be a desirable change? Use me, I beg of you. I do congratulate you all, out of a full heart.

Affectionately yours,

Elizabeth B. Browning.

One word of verbal message to say how she is today.

Text: AAA’s Catalogue, 6 May 1915.

1. Conjectural date suggested by EBB’s references to easily digestible food, doubtless for Una Hawthorne.
