Autograph letter signed : Le Havre, to George Goodin Moulton-Barrett, [1858] September 18.

Sending George their new address in Paris, Rue Castiglione 6, where Sarianna Browning has found them rooms; writing that they are all happy that "Stormie" (Charles John) has returned safely from a journey; asking if George has amused himself at Heidelberg; writing that she and Arabella will be glad to leave Havre for Paris, though "Little Pen is 'in despair,' he says, 'about his ships' and decides on carrying the man of war on his shoulder, for the great advantage of all fellow-passengers in the train tomorrow"; mentioning that she has had her photograph taken: "Robert dragged me by the hair of my head to the jetty, and there I have been 'done' over & over, & in all sorts of senses, till I was nearly out of mine. Just as he began to be convinced that nothing could be produced (upon the material) fit for anything but a frontispiece for the Woman's Journal,--representing all the wrongs of the sex by a face of exquisite misery..(& I thought of sending it to Bessie Parkes the editress for that purpose).. just at the moment of his 'giving it up', a sudden success was attained,-- & you would be surprised how the sun has succeeded in glorifying me..."; writing that Robert has been having copies of the photograph made and one copy has already been sent to America for engraving; telling George that Arabella has also given her a photograph of Pen, "looking like a Velasquez, Robert says."
