eat parlor in which they sit in the evening; on the one side a large fireplace with an open fire, close to which sits Mrs. Browning, almost lost in a large armchair; on the opposite side sits her husband, and between them is a third chair for a guesusto. The ends of the room are filled with pictures, quaint furniture, statuettes, and all kinds of things picked up by Browning in his all-observant rambles. For he is perfectly what Landor describes him in a sonnet which I had written in the begiine frenzy, but universal animation and activity. Such, I fancy, Shakespeare might have been, and I quite like to fancy Browning such. She seems frail, but well, for her, the bold one having won fire to transform her to health. I should have addedation of English poets; and this graver wooing of Tennyson's goes well by the graceful tale of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning! Hurlbut is quite sure that he saw Tennyson, though not knowing it at the time. That is, he saw at Cheltenham a

in Dusseldorf and learned how to make everything picturesque except herself. February, 1854 We have just been reading a nice letter from Barbara [Mrs. Higginson's sister]. ... She is having a superb time with St. Peter, Martin Van Buren, Mrs. Browning, and other Roman notabilities. She and Sully walk on the Campagna as if it were the Cambridge Common; little Lizzy plays with young Brownings and Crawfords; and Bab [Barbara] lends my Woman and her wishes to Fanny Kemble and Harriet Hosmer. it needs all the foreign labels on her trunk to convince us that she has been at Verona and Pisa. She brought home a few notes from her, i.e., E. B. B. . .Almost all of them related to her child and this gives a charm to them. ... The little Browning boy is beautiful, with a broad brow and blue eyes wide apart, fair curling hair and great dignity as well as gaiety; five years old and a great love of drawing already shown. These traits are not just like those of her noble Philip, my King whi

3 Arrived here in safety. I find to my regret that I shall be employed more out of Kansas than in Kansas. They are very glad to have me here, and are in need of efficient agents. To a friend: Nebraska City, September 16, 1856 I know you will particularly like a word from the Border. ... Various camping grounds are scattered along from twenty-five miles north to the same distance south, of various parties, and in a day or two more it will be Boot, saddle, to horse, and away, as Browning has it. Only just at this moment things look discouragingly safe, and the men are beginning to fear marching in without a decent excuse for firing anything at anybody. But we shall take in arms and ammunition and flour and groceries and specie, and shall be welcomed even if we go through safe. As one approaches Kansas, it becomes more and more the absorbing topic and every one here talks it all day, while waiting for real estate to rise. Then comes a cloud of dust on the western road an

ts I meet at clubs. There are others and worthier that I have met under other circumstances. There is Walter Savage Landor. 1775-1864. In 1856, Mr. Hillard edited Selections from Landor's writings. I know you admire his genius. I first met him at Mr. Kenyon's; John Kenyon, 1787-1856; the inheritor of a large fortune, and friend of many men of letters; the author of A Day at Tivoli, and other poems. He distributed his fortune among eighty legatees, among whom were Elizabeth and Robert Browning and Barry Cornwall. Several notes from Kenyon to Sumner are preserved; one from 4 Harley Place, of June 15, 1838, saying: You are hardly a stranger among us; you were hardly a stranger when you had been here only three days; another, inviting him to meet Southey; another inviting him to dine, Jan. 19, 1839; and another regretting a previous engagement of Sumner, and adding, I give you ten days' notice, and cannot have you. he was there at dinner with a considerable party.
