Barrett Browning comments on death of Agnes Alexander. She says it is \u2018natural and characteristic\u2019 of Blagden to want to go to England to support her friends but she musn\u2019t. Barrett Browning talks about her misguided impressions of Sophia Eckley. She says she will make no more female friends because fate draws her to \u2018women of straw, women of false lives & hearts\u2019 and it\u2019s a wonder she and Blagden are friends. Barrett Browning says she values Kate Field however. She was against the idea of printing Sophia Eckley's book but it was difficult to articulate this. \n\nShe comments further on the political situation in Italy. She is late in replying to Blagden\u2019s letter because she has been busy with \u2018Poems before Congress\u2019. Of this work, she says \u2018people will hate me in England but never mind\u2019. She will also reprint \u2018Curse for a Nation\u2019 which has only been printed so far by abolitionists. It \u2018will come in well in relation to the bad, bad Brown affair\u2019, referring to the hanging of John Brown. She expresses surprise at publishers Chapman and Hall\u2019s silence (which would turn into the eventual rejection) of Blagden's 'Agnes Tremorne'. Barrett Browning has had a kind letter Dr Grisonowsky. She says Blagden is very good to Landor and sends a \u2018picturesque account\u2019 of him. Pen fell thrice from his pony and the animal was maddened by a mare left in the stable. The pony has been sent away and Pen is unhurt. This is a fragment of the letter; Robert Browning has continued his portion on the envelope which is held by the Armstrong Browning Library and is scanned and available to read online. \n\nThis letter has been transcribed in 'The Brownings' Correspondence', vol. 27, pp. 124\u2013129 (Kansas: Wedgestone Press, 2020). It is transcribed online via The Brownings' Correspondence project, numbered 4567."}]},"identifier":[{"accession_number":"GBR\/280\/MS.1.R-1917\/5\/112","primary":true,"type":"accession number","value":"GBR\/280\/MS.1.R-1917\/5\/112"},{"priref":"110010240","type":"priref","value":"110010240"},{"type":"old reference no.","value":"Browning(EB)\/200"},{"type":"old reference no.","value":"Browning(EB)\/108"},{"type":"old reference no.","value":"Browning(EB)\/G90"},{"type":"uri","uri":"https:\/\/data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk\/id\/object\/110010240","value":"https:\/\/data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk\/id\/object\/110010240"}],"institutions":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"agent-149638","uid":"adlib-agent-149638","uuid":"7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8"},"summary_title":"The Fitzwilliam Museum"}],"lifecycle":{"creation":[{"date":[{"earliest":1860,"latest":1860,"note":[{"value":"Thursday [5 January 1860]"}],"value":"1860-01-05"}],"maker":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"agent-164438","uid":"adlib-agent-164438","uuid":"134c98ee-69a6-3752-982b-477276489b51"},"summary_title":"Browning, Elizabeth Barrett"},{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"agent-18959","uid":"adlib-agent-18959","uuid":"39259c5a-4c1e-374d-9773-12b77ff96b14"},"summary_title":"Browning, Robert"}]}]},"summary_title":"MS Letter, Elizabeth Barrett Browning to Isa Blagden","title":[{"value":"MS Letter, Elizabeth Barrett Browning to Isa Blagden"}],"type":{"base":"object","type":"OBJECT"}}
