72. EBB to Mrs. Fance [1]
As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 1, 63.
Hope End
August 10th 1818.
I sincerely trust that my dear Mrs Fance will dismiss any anxiety she may experience on the health of our very dear Mama as indeed it surpasses our most affectionate and most ardent hopes.
She begs her best love and commissions me to tell you how happy she would feel if assured that you had the same endeared prospect of returning health. The Baby is astonishingly well and is a fine little fellow and as you may well imagine is chief favorite in the Nursery– The country is lovely at this season every thing smiles under the benignant rays of a summer sun. Our family circle unite in the most affectionate loves to you and the dear little children and believe me dear Mrs Fance
Always to remain yours very sincerely
E B Barrett.
