Alderley Park, Chelford, Cheshire
Sunday

My darling Did you feel convinced I should write to you? I always meant to, but a spirited game of “Counties of England” {1} with the children has almost prevented me. I am going to stay with Barbara {2}, in case you wanted to communicate with me. We’ve all missed you & yr absence has been loudly deplored. Barbara & I have both been swinishly asleep on my sofa most of the afternoon, except for a short daffodil picking interlude.

Did you like the Real Charlotte {3}?

I liked you better this time than last, and am missing you quite as much as I can wish.

3 St. Edmund’s Terrace, Regent’s Park, N.W. Two letters written after W. M. Rossetti read an article about Christina Rossetti in the 9 Jan. issue of The World in which she is said to have been stiff and ungenial and that “Arthur J.” and the author encountered her one night and that she was icy to them. In the first letter Rossetti speculates that the author is the watercolour painter Smallfield. Munby has written “No!” above the “Arthur J., who must be you” in the letter. In the second letter he has received Munby's reply and agrees that the J. is likely for the surname. He is pleased with the forthcoming volume of Christina's poems; is grateful to have news of his old friend Lushington.
