51.25 TO UNKNOWN RECIPIENT

MS (fragment): Getty.

. . . I did not see The Times review of Ruskin. I suppose it was a little supercilious and a little uneasy, like most of theirs, was it not? Their opinion of Tennyson’s In Memoriam, by the bye, does not gain much credit by their publishing. . . .

Believe me, my dear Sir

53.61 TO WILLIAM HOLMAN HUNT

MS: Arizona.

Dear Holman –

I shall come up to-morrow evening late unless unexpectedly baulked in my intention or unless you write to say it will not suit you.

54.73.1 TO BESSIE RAYNER PARKES

MS: Girton College, Cambridge.

Dear Miss Parkes

As I fear I shall be prevented from coming myself, & may not see my sister before Thursday, let me write you at once her address & my brother’s

and believe me, with kind remembrances

56.41.1 TO FORD MADOX BROWN

MS: Jeff Pennig. Date: WMR.

My dear Brown

Will you come here to-night & meet Allingham. I have asked Woolner, Jones, & J. Seddon: – Woodward also, but believe he is out of town.

56.48.1 TO BESSIE RAYNER PARKES

MS: Girton College, Cambridge.

Dear Miss Parkes

Allingham’s address is Lane, Ballyshannon; but I understand he is likely to be in London immediately – he said the 9th, so you would most probably meet him. Miss Siddal has been in town about a fortnight, but will be leaving again almost immediately & is most likely to spend the winter abroad. She is rather better, I hope, and would I amsure send you her love, were she present at this writing.

Would you kindly, in return for A’s address, send me word whether Miss Smith1 is just now near Hastings,– at the farm I suppose, if so. My mother & sister Christina are at Hastings, and as Miss Smith must often be in the town no doubt, I would write her asking her to give them a call.
