As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 32, 356 (in part).
Biarritz, in a storm,
26 January 1867.
My dear Smith
You must not suppose that I mean to inflict on you, busy man that you are, the bore of a reply, but I know …
Biarritz … surpasses all expectations. Indeed until the Brownings spoke of it to us we had no conception of its being so beautiful a place.
