SD2838. Bryan Waller Procter to John Forster

As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 32, 348 (in part).

Essington’s Hotel

Malvern Wells

18 or 19 Septr. 1866

My dear Forster,

Your letter has been lost—for a day or two …

Browning, I suppose, stays in France to complete the 15000 lines which form his ‘new poem.’ Surely he is somewhat changed within the last two or three years. He will of course make a home for his sister now. …

My dear Forster I must conclude with love to Eliza.

Always your sincere

B.W. Procter
