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.
