Barrett Browning opens the letter asking why Miss Mitford does not write to her and asks her to 'write' and 'be kind in [her] own old way'. She discusses Harriet Martineau's clairvoyant and Charles Wentworth Dilke's attempts to stop Martineau's account of mesmerism being published. She then goes on to discuss Balzac's 'Les Chouans'. She says Balzac has 'bewitched' her. She asks whether Miss Mitford has read 'Chimes' and mentions that Carlyle is writing a Life of Cromwell. She returns to the topic of Harriet Martineau, saying that Martineau claims she has never been in such 'perfect health'. Barrett Browning says her own voice is 'coming back fast' and asks when she will see Miss Mitford. She says she has had 'the least little slip of letter or note' from Richard Henry Horne. In her postscript, she mentions her 'dismay' that the 'oysters were never sent'. A transcript of this letter is available online via The Brownings' Correspondence Project, numbered 1784. It is also published in 'The Brownings' Correspondence' (Kansas: Wedgestone Press, 1991), vol. 9, pp. 295-98.
