Robert Browning has finally written to Blagden (delayed due to ‘entanglement in other things’). He is not ‘untouched by Agnes’. He has also brought Saturday Review for Barrett Browning: the review of Agnes Tremorne is ‘favourable’. She says Blagden has had a ‘decided success’. She sends two translations for Dall’Ongaro. Barrett Browning had earlier sent “A View Across the Roman Campagna”. She explains her style of translation and says they will be in Florence soon, ‘I am rather stronger, but so weak still that my eyes dazzle to think of it’. She continues ‘I go to bed at eight on most nights. I’m the rag of a Ba– Yet I am stronger, & look much so, it seems to me–’. She says Mr Story ‘is doing Robert’s bust’. Hatty (Harriet Hosmer) has also shown a design for a fountain for Lady Marion Alford. Mary Mackenzie’s maid has been ‘very ill’ and needed to be ‘bled’. ‘Mrs. M began to scream’ and Barrett Browning expresses her disdain for ‘all screaming creatures’. Hans Christian Andersen has visited. Pen gets on with his Latin. They have taken no apartment. She asks for news of Sophie Cottrell, Hans Christian Anderson read some of his work at the Story's and Robert Browning also read his poem of the ‘Rats’ ‘with great applause I hear’. She mourns the death of László Teleki, and says ‘America, too, is passing an awful crisis’.
