SD1538. Thomas Noon Talfourd to Mary Russell Mitford

As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 17, 278 (in part).

Russell Square

January 3, 1852

My dear Miss Mitford,

Although I have not yet received from Mr. Bentley the volumes your kindness appropriated to me, I have made acquaintance with them at the Athenæum. … Turning naturally to the chapter which commemorates the “marriage of true hearts,” and of high geniuses, in the destiny of the Brownings, I was happy to find myself honoured by the revival of a recollection in which you form so gratifying a part. …

Text: L’Estrange (1), II, 94–96.
