My dear Miss Barrett,
I have tried to be very stoical, but after all, my lips will open with the question,—[“]have you received your book?”– If it be safe upon your shelf, pray do not write: & pray, also, forgive my seeming discourtesy in saying so—you know my motive—& indeed, I have but one– Of late too, I have always pictured you to myself as beyond measure busy—
19 February 1844. Westwood, Thomas to Browning, Elizabeth Barrett.
