The Letters of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume II

CHAPTER X
76/138

She hindered her husband from fighting with Garibaldi for his country, because Garibaldi fought under L.N., which was so highly improper.

Her letter was not unkind to me, but altogether and insanely wrong as I considered.

(Not more wrong though, and much less wicked, than the 'Times.') I was too ill at the time to answer it, and afterwards Robert would not let me, but I should have liked to do it; it's such a comfort to a woman (and a man ?) to _sfogarsi_, as we say here.

Also, I was really uneasy at what might be doing at Bologna; so, in spite of friendship, it was a relief to me to hear of the police taking charge of all overt possibilities in that direction.
Is it really true that 'Adam Bede' is the work of Miss Evans?
The woman (as I have heard of her) and the author (as I read her) do not hold together.

May God bless you, my dear friend! Robert shall say so for himself.
Ever affectionately yours, ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING.
My dear Mr.Chorley,--Reading over what I have written I find that I have been so basely ungrateful as not to say the thing I would when I would thank you.
