In this letter, Barrett Browning discusses spiritualism, in particular people writing communications from the beyond. She says that her maid Elizabeth Wilson is able to write communications supposedly from her mother and brother however Wilson is self-conscious about it. Of their other acquaintances, she says Sir Edward Lytton does not believe in mesmerism whereas Sir David Brewster was ‘confounded by the results of the seance’. Barrett Browning likes Rome less than Florence. She says they will be in London in the summer and in Paris next winter. Mr Page the American artist and Dr Emil Braun the archaeologist have been visiting, taking the sides of Swedenbourg and Jacob Behmen: 'One believes in Swedenborg & the other in Jacob Behmen'. She asks for Haworth's thoughts on Frederick Tennyson’s poetry. She says she has not read Benjamin Haydon's ‘Haydon’s life’ but that they were correspondents and she has read his diary in M.S. and was shocked by news of his death. She corrects Haworth's supposition that they get new books and periodicals as they do in London. This letter contains references to suicide. This letter has been transcribed in 'The Brownings' Correspondence', vol. 20, pp. 99–104 (Kansas: Wedgestone Press, 2013).
