Summary
Thanking him for sending information about their account; noting that he and Elizabeth Barrett Browning agree with Chapman that the new edition of Aurora Leigh should be cheaper; observing that E.B. Browning "has a weakness for cheap little books" but that he does not like them; asking him to send a parcel of books and notes to Miss [Arabella?] Barrett because she is traveling to France and can deliver them; mentioning that his "wife's health [is] restored beyond [his] expectations."
