Dear Lady Goldsmid, [1]

Certainly you will not have missed me at your Ball last night,—but I had to miss both you and the Ball, to my extreme regret. I was kept late at a distant part of Town and found myself too tired—and indeed unwell—to do anything but go home. I have lost a great pleasure, as I think you must understand.

Yours very sincerely ever

Robert Browning.
