Feb. 18 /57.
My dear Allingham,
I find among my “unanswered Letters” yours of a month ago …
Aurora Leigh is a strange book for a modest sensible little woman like Mrs Browning to have written. It is full of “fine things” of course; but I am inexpressibly sick of such things under such conditions. See “Recent Poets” in “Ed. Rev.”
