SD2276. Walter Savage Landor to John Forster

As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 26, 360 (in part).

[Siena]

6 August [1859]

… You will have heard that I am now in a cottage near Siena, which I owe to Browning, the kind friend who found it for me, whom I had seen only three or four times in my life, yet who made me the voluntary offer of what money I wanted, and who insists on managing my affairs here, and paying for my lodgings and sustenance. Never was such generosity and such solicitude as this incomparable man has shown in my behalf.
