SD2175. Dante Gabriel Rossetti to William Bell Scott

As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 25, 355–356 (in part).

Blackfriars Bridge

[ca. 21 June 1858]

Dear Scotus

You don’t know what a criminal I feel on sitting down at last to write to you. …

I forget whether your note named Florence also. If so, don’t miss the Brownings at Casa Guidi who I hear are not coming to England this year. I forget whether you have met them or not. If not, & you like, I will write you a note for them; but indeed the best introduction would be your vol. of poems, of which I remember speaking to them & finding I think that they knew it not. Do take it them yourself if you go there. They need no ceremonies. …

Publication: Rossetti, 2, 212–215.

Manuscript: Princeton University.
