Thank you very much, my dear Mr. Conway, for all your kindness, in respect to this the latest of them, it would be altogether premature to make any definitive arrangement,—neither the when nor the how of publication are decided on. [1] I should not, I think, much incline to send or entrust anything to anybody at a venture– Thank you, however, I repeat, and believe me

Ever most truly yours

Robert Browning
