Upper Westbourne Terrace W.

Feb. 8. ’66.

My dear Mrs Tennyson,

I really can’t say how happy I shall be to see you again, and your Husband too. The only drawback is, that I must leave you earlier, a little, than I otherwise would, to go to a party. However, it is very good!—three hours with you both!

Ever affectionately his & yours

Robert Browning.
