Autograph letter signed : [London], to George Goodin Moulton-Barrett, 1843 March 31.

Writing that she has been busy revising her poem "Pan" based on criticisms by John Kenyon, and that both she and Kenyon are happy with the final result: "Mr. Kenyon says 'You will never write anything better than that.' We shall see"; asking after his legal work and telling him that he has been mentioned in the Hereford paper; writing that she has had a "very kind note" from Tennyson, thanking her for her review of his work; summarizing his letter: "He had reason to be obliged to the reviewer--but far more was he gratified by the good opinion of a British poetess"; mentioning that Wordsworth has also sent her "a little printed, not published, poem, of some four pages, called 'Grace Darling', with his 'very kind regards'"; writing that Kenyon had recited a sonnet of hers to Edward Moxon the day before, upon which Moxon reiterated his willingness to publish anything she was willing to send him; describing the death of Robert Southey: "Poor Southey has passed through many forms of death to his repose--having a few weeks ago an apoplexy, & dying at last with typhus fever. He recovered no light of intellect--& went without transition from the darkness & blank & silence to which he had been reduced, without transition, without dawn, full into the perpetual glory & resounding Hallelujah--Who can weep for him? Not his tenderest friend. Least of all, his tenderest friend"; expressing shock and indignation that Southey's second wife, Caroline Anne, would "only permit his daughter to see him for one hour during the week!--She now says bitterly 'I have got my father back again.' Is there not a thrilling truth in those words?"; giving him updates on the Monro family and Mary Russell Mitford's subscription fund.
