SD1772.  Robert Bulwer Lytton to John Forster

As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 20, 376 (in part).

[Paris]

[early September 1854]

My dear Forster

I hope that many days will not pass without bringing me a letter from you. And mine henceforward must be more frequent as I use myself to the harness I have to wear here. … I have had a long letter from the Brownings wh has given me that pleasure their letters always bring me; and out of this sand-desert of apes & ourang-outangs the sound of real human voices is refreshing. …

Publication: None traced.

Manuscript: Lord Cobbold.
