http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647870273

The collection contains a letter, 1852, from Alfred Lord Tennyson to Elizabeth Browning, expressing gratitude for her note and Robert Browning's Epilogue; and a letter, 1862, from Alfred Lord Tennyson to "My dear Duchess," saying he has been ill and is planning to arrange a meeting with Queen Victoria now that he is well. There is also a letter, 1934, from Thomas J. Wise to Mr. [Arthur?] Swann, stating that the manuscript of "Crossing the bar" is likely in Emily Tennyson's hand and her writing is very similar to her husband's, and adds news of friends and business matters.
