My dear Mr. Chapman

The letter you forwarded from Mrs. Browning was so nice – you can’t think! – unless you had been in love with her for seven years, as I have. She has never seen the Head – will you give me one for her, & tell me how I could manage to send it to Paris?

Will you likewise tell me what you have decided about the Hero? –

I should have called today – but it is so wet. And after all, I don’t want to break my mornings, being so busy with novel N o number 4 & A letter will do as well – Will you answer this soon please, & believe me

Very sincerely yours DMM –
