Evidence
George Eliot to Edward Bruce Hamley, 24 January 1871. “I write to say God bless you for your letter to the ‘Times’ of this morning. It contains the best expression of right principle -- I was almost ready to say, the only good sensible words -- that I have yet seen on the actual state of things between the Germans and the French.
You will not pause, I trust, but go on doing what can be done only by one who is at once a soldier, a writer, and a clear-headed man of principle.” GEL 5: 134
