[mid-February 1861] [1]

Dearest Hatty– Does this happen to be what you want? There is another in progress which you may like better,—and have also, if you please. I was vexed to be from home when you called yesterday—shall I never see you?

Affectionately yours

Robert Browning

[Continued by EBB]

You shall have the picture of me dearest Hatty, when the sun has done me.

Yours affectionately

Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

Manuscript: Armstrong Browning Library.

1. Dating based on the implication that RB is referring to photographs of himself: the January 1860 photograph (see letter 4571, note 6) and the photographs that were taken in early February 1861 (see letter 4825, note 4).
