Robert Browning to Rachel Talfourd, c.1842: 'Out of certain projects of calling personally and saying my thankful say -- comes this poor paper and ink acknowledgement of the Sergeant's great kindness [...] I have read the "Recollections" with the greatest delight, seeing in my mind the whole party at every turn. Will you have the goodness to tell him this, mending my imperfect phrase.'
