SD1292. Margaret Fuller to Evert A. Duyckinck

As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 14, 367 (in part).

London

30th Octr 1846

Dear Mr Duyckinck,

The letter which I intended to write you dwindles into a note, for many as were my interruptions in N.Y. they scarcely enabled me to form a notion of those inevitable to a London life. …

Mr Mathews made me promise to write to him of those to whom he gave me letters, but I have seen none of them except Mr Horne and him only once, as he has been almost all the time in Ireland. Miss Barrett has just eloped with Browning; she had to elope, Mr Horne says, from a severe hard father. The influence of this father seems to have been crushing. I hope she may now be happy and well; perhaps I shall see them (i e her and Browning) in Italy. …

Address: To / Evert A. Duyckinck Esq / New York. / U.S.A. Kindness of Mr Welford.
