Lot 16 - Browning (Robert) Autograph letter signed...

Browning (Robert) Autograph letter signed ('Robert Browning') to Mrs Millais, reading "I don't know what my writing never so much fiction has to do with preventing me from saying a true word now and then, such as this, that I am greatly obliged to you for all your kindness. I and my sister went to the portrait gallery yesterday, and had a couple of calls in your neighbourhood; it seemed natural to call on you [...] never mind, we shall try again before we go away. I was sole cavalier to two ladies at the Opera, could not leave them for a minute. I liked the four acts that I heard, having been whisked away as the fifth began", one page, integral blank, mailing folds, light foxing and age-related toning, remnants of previous mount, 8vo, 9 Warwick Crescent, 18 July 1867, with original mailing envelope addressed in Browning's hand.
