SD2640.  John Ruskin to Frederic Leighton

Published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 30, 358 (in part).

[London]

[June 1863]

My dear Leighton,

The public voice respecting the lecture you are calumniously charged with, is as wise as usual. …

It is my turn to claim Browning for you, though I know what your morning time is to you. …

Will you tell me any day you could come—any hour—and I’ll try for Browning.

Ever faithfully yours,

J. Ruskin.
