SD1573. Anna Brownell Jameson to Johanna Murphy, Charlotte Murphy & Eliza Murphy

As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 18, 364–365 (in part).

[Paris]

3 May [1852]

Dearest Mother and Sisters,—

Charlotte’s letter of yesterday was a relief—I was beginning to fancy it a long time since I had heard anything of you and yet it is only ten days since I left home! …

I might be very gay here. I have one dinner engagement and 4 evening engagements for this week—and have got into a nice set; but certainly the Brownings are more to me than any others and with their society, I really wish for no other.
