SD2855. Edward FitzGerald to Emily Tennyson
As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 32, 353 (in part).
Markethill, Woodbridge
[December, 1866]
Dear Mrs. Tennyson,

Frederick and I exchange a Shot rather oftener; some four or five times a Year, I think. His last told me that (as he had heard from Browning) Alfred was about the Death of Lucretius. Is it so? Has he dipt—or is he going to dip—“in Earthquake and Eclipse?” …
