SD1927. Dante Gabriel Rossetti to Ellen Heaton

As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 22, 273 (in part).

[London]

Monday [12 May 1856]

My dear Madam

Pray excuse my delay in answering your kind note. I have been very busy.

I shall be most happy to show the drawing to Miss Barrett if you will fix a time with her. Any day would I believe be equally suitable to me, if you would kindly let me know a day beforehand.

I fear there is little worth seeing, to my knowledge, in London just now—i.e. in the way of Art—except the R.A. Exhibition—where by the bye they have not hung Mr. Browning’s portrait, though they reported it as accepted. …
