Barrett Browning mentions Edward Wilberforce who they do not know particularly well. He is about to marry Fannie Flash. Barrett Browning comments on political situation with reference to Austria and other European nations and possibility of war. The Brownings have had \u2018the most affectionate\u2019 letter from Mr Foster. He is upset by Landor\u2019s \u2018bearing\u2019 towards him. He has changed his previously strongly negative opinion of the Emperor though it is still negative. He confirms the gossip about Garibaldi not marrying Madame de Swartz who visited them \u2018in great pain and anger\u2019. Barrett Browning refers to Garibaldi\u2019s pre-existing relationship and child with Battistina Ravello. Instead he married Giuseppina Raimondi. Barrett Browning feels very sorry for Madame de Swartz. Garibaldi has also acted poorly with her in relation to his memoirs which she was to write and had completed the first volume and arrangements were \u2018made with a Dutch publisher\u2019. Garibaldi has asked for his notes to be returned and has now given them to Alexandre Dumas \u2018who means to bring out a Life\u2019. \n\nBarrett Browning is disappointed in Garibaldi for \u2018cheat[ing]\u2019 Mdme De Swartz in this way. She makes further comments on the Flash family and the upcoming Flash-Wilberforce marriage as well as on Edmund Clarence Stedman\u2019s poetry. Barrett Browning is sorry that Miss Cobbe is ill and Blagden is going to Florence rather than Rome. Miss Cushman wanted Blagden to come to Rome but \u2018did it too roughly\u2019. Blagden is good to \u2018poor Mr Landor\u2019. She makes mention of Owen\u2019s Footfalls on the Boundary of Another World (1860), Mrs Stowe visited the Brownings but after Barrett Browning went to bed. Barrett Browning has been dealing with an ear ache. She comments on James T. Fields an American publisher in relation to Blagden's novel.  In the postscript, she notes that Robert Browning has written to Landor and asks about Hume.\n\nThis letter has been transcribed in 'The Brownings' Correspondence', vol. 27, pp. 199\u2013204 (Kansas: Wedgestone Press, 2020). It is transcribed online via The Brownings' Correspondence project, numbered 4612."}]},"identifier":[{"accession_number":"GBR\/280\/MS.1.R-1917\/5\/116","primary":true,"type":"accession number","value":"GBR\/280\/MS.1.R-1917\/5\/116"},{"priref":"110010244","type":"priref","value":"110010244"},{"type":"old reference no.","value":"Browning(EB)\/187"},{"type":"old reference no.","value":"Browning(EB)\/206"},{"type":"old reference no.","value":"Browning(EB)\/G117"},{"type":"uri","uri":"https:\/\/data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk\/id\/object\/110010244","value":"https:\/\/data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk\/id\/object\/110010244"}],"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":"Feb. 24.
