Sirs

Some time ago we heard of the new Poems by Robt Browning as promised. Will you do us the favor to name the title & when it is coming that we may announce it to the Press according to an understanding with Mr Browning himself. We have been in correspondence with him, but do not know now where to address him. We wd be glad to negotiate for Mrs. Brownings new Poem, but are informed by the firm in New York who have issued her other works that they will [illegible word] any one who may interfere with them in publishing Mrs. Brownings Poems.

Yours Very Truly

Ticknor & Fields
