In this letter, Barrett Browning compares Miss Pickering and Frederica Bremer as writers. She also discusses what kind of person would be best placed to translate Balzac, saying of Miss Mitford that she 'wd do it too well' but 'has the power of something better'. She discusses libraries and her reading, mentioning various writers such as Henriette Etiennette Fanny Reybaud, Léonard Sylvain Jules Sandeau, Frédéric Soulié, Jacob Paul La Croix and Charles Nodier. She mentions that she has had a kind note from Mrs Jameson and the opportunity to meet her. She asks Miss Mitford's opinion of 'Harriet Martineau’s mesmeric experience as expounded in the Athenæum'. She mentions feeling uneasy 'about dear Mr Boyd', who has apparently told her sister Arabel that he wonders whether Barrett Browning would kiss him after seeing him again.
