_R.B. to E.B.B._
Tuesday Morning.
[Post-mark, July 22, 1845.]
I will say, with your leave, Thursday (nor attempt to say anything
else without your leave).
The temptation of reading the 'Essay' was more than I could bear: and
a wonderful work it is every way; the other poems and their
music--wonderful!
And you go out still--so continue better!
I cannot write this morning--I should say too much and have to be
sorry and afraid--let me be safely yours ever, my own dear friend--
