My dear Madam,
We have greeted no number of the Athenæum of late, with so cordial & kindly a greeting, as that which has made us acquainted with “Flush, my dog.” We have long wished to meet with you in print, looking upon such appearance as a sort of bulletin, & your long silence began to assume the shape of an evil augury, which we are right glad to exchange for more hopeful thoughts & anticipations. Indeed, I have been wishing to write for some time past, if only to ask the brief question, ‘How do you do’? but I knew that you could have but little time to give to such extra correspondents as myself, & therefore
5 August 1843. Westwood, Thomas to Browning, Elizabeth Barrett.
