SD2123. John Ruskin to Ellen Heaton

As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 24, 270 (in part).

[London]]

7th December [1857]

I’ll write again very soon.

Dear Miss Heaton

Day after day as usual I’ve been planning thanks to you—never got them said—I was just a day …

I’ve sent four letters now to Florence to the Brownings—two to Poste Restante—one to Florence—one to Casa Guidi– No answers so that I know they hav’nt got them– Do say if you see them how sorry I am; they must think me a wretch.
