Farringford,

I.W.

June 5th/63

Dear Sirs,

Accept my best thanks for these two volumes of the works of that true & rare genius, my friend, Robert Browning– I don’t know where he is– He would make me very happy if he would come & spend a few days with me here. If you will tell him as much when you see him or write to him, you will increase my obligations to you

Yours gratefully

A Tennyson
