The letter begins with a brief mention of Richard Henry Horne’s ‘attachment’ to Miss Walters. Barrett Browning then discusses Mitford’s proposed plan to move to Jersey which she admits makes her ‘very angry’ and she says that others, including her father and John Kenyon, cannot see its advantages. She compares other places more favourably to Jersey and says that she cannot stop Mitford from going but knows that she will return ‘repentant’. She also asks whether Mitford will find a good library of books in Jersey then goes on to discuss her reading: Eugene Sue’s Mysteries of Paris. She also briefly gives her opinions of Balzac, Dumas, Paul de Kock, Victor Huge and George Sand. She praises George Sand as ‘to my mind the greatest female poet the world ever saw’. She says she would like to see Mr Reade’s letter to Mitford and praises Leigh Hunt as a ‘man of true genius’ and asks when Mitford plans on visiting London.

It is also published in 'The Brownings' Correspondence' (Kansas: Wedgestone Press, 1990), vol. 8, pp. 238-242. The dating for this letter has also been taken from The Brownings' Correspondence.
