4871. RB to William Wetmore Story
As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 29, 70.
[Rome]
[mid-April] [1861] [1]
Dear Story,
On getting home, I find myself obliged to go out again, and much fear that I shall hardly be able to return by three-oclock: the sight of the Sybil must therefore be reserved for another day—the sooner the better. I shall venture to try if you are at home this evening.
Ever yours affly
RB
Publication: None traced.
Manuscript: McGill University.
1. Dating based on EBB’s frequent references to Story’s having finished “The Libyan Sybil” in mid- to late April 1861 (see, for example, letters 4876, 4878, and 4887).
