SD2362. John Ruskin to Ellen Heaton
As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 27, 348.
[London]
[?late March 1860]
… Thanks for Mrs Browning’s noble letter, but she’s wholly wrong (for the first time in her life I believe) about the Rifles. The only thing to save us from our accursed commerce—and make us men again instead of gold shovels.
