SD2307. Octavia Hill to Emma Baumgartner
As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 27, 338.
103, Milton Street, Dorset Square,
November 27th, 1859.
Mrs. Browning has taught me so very much, or rather has been such a friend to me, saying precisely what I wanted to hear (first expressing my own feelings so completely, and then carrying me on to the only hopes and thoughts that can satisfy one at such times), that it seems to me as if I knew her, and that she really had suffered and thought with me.
