Here are the books, dear Rossetti, which I ought to have sent long ago: it was never exactly my fault however—and this is a better edition perhaps: [1] don’t thank me—because you have done so beforehand. I hope soon, or not at any great length of time, to send you something better.

Affectionately yours

Robert Browning.
