SD2493.  Bryan Waller Procter to John Forster

Brighton

Tuesday August 6th [1861

My dear Forster–

I was glad to get your Letter yesterday—although I have little news to send you in return. …

I shall stand no chance of seeing Browning, of course—but I hope that he will come soon & sit down at his own hearth in England. Young Lytton has been very kind to Browning in his trouble. I like this (you see I grow old) better than his most luxuriant poems. …

Kind regards to Samuel

Yours always

B.W. Procter
