SD1240.1. Frances Anne Kemble to Harriet St. Leger
Addendum to The Brownings’ Correspondence, vol. 11.
Mortimer Street [London]
Tuesday. [9 December 1845]
Dearest Hal,
… My dinner at Mrs. Procter’s was very pleasant. In the first place I love her husband very much; then there were Kenyon, Chorley, Henry Reeve, Monckton Milnes, and Browning!—a goodly company, you’ll allow. Oh, how I wish wits were catching! but if they were, I don’t suppose after that dinner I should be able to put up with poor pitiful prose people like you for a long time to come. …
Yours ever,
Fanny
