Dear Sir,
I am really sorry at being forced to refuse any request of yours—but I have only one answer to applications for that which you mention,—it is impossible to part with it. [1] Nor am I able to refer to any photograph which would satisfy you—nothing of the kind was ever taken in England.
Very faithfully yours
Robert Browning.
