Barrett Browning has been ‘weak & low physically’. She says ‘I have only been counting lines, & feeling as if this poem of mine meant to roll on to eternity– Certainly nobody will ever read to the end of it, whether I write or not.’. Robert Browning ‘swears’ he won’t go to England until Barrett Browning is finished with her writing. Barrett Browning says she misses the ‘vital air’ of Italy. She was struck with ‘horror’ to hear Daniel Douglas Hume is in Paris. The Storys will be sailing on June 18th and hope to spend the ‘winter in our dear society’, however they will not take up this offer because Mr Kenyon has offered his London house for the summer and autumn. Barrett Browning praises the house. It is near her sister, only she worries about Mr Kenyon’s health. They were visited by the Power sisters. Miss Cushman never visited. She mentions the hanging of William Palmer and Napoleon escaping bad floods. She asks after Alice and mentions Pen who misses Blagden. She also asks after Mr Tennyson and other Florentines.
