My dear Mr Browning
Your dear letter gives me intense pleasure. At first I was a good deal knocked up by this slap in the face: there was no way of declaring war. Now, I am rather to be congratulated I think, for it has vividly shown to me how live is the friendship of my friends.
Yours devotedly
John Brett
