Aug. 1. ’63.

My dear Louisa,

Where there is a will there is not always a way,—and here am I going without that visit to you which I fully meant to indulge in. I have of late been working hard all day, up to the last minute: I can hardly be so occupied another season. Will you forgive me? and believe that, as soon as I return, one of my first attempts will be to see you? I go to the old place in Bretagne where I stayed last year—my father & sister accompanying me, of course, as well as the Boy, whom you will make acquaintance with, one day.

All kindest regard to you all

from Yours affectionately ever

Robert Browning.
