The Heights, | Witley, Godalming, | August 3rd, 1878.
My Dear Mr Tennyson,
Mrs Greville 107 tells us that you have the amiable intention of reading your new play to us. You know what we think of your dramatic powers and can therefore feel assured of the pleasant thrill of expectation which this news excites. I write this merely to say that time and place, as you may appoint will find it free and cosy.
Yours ever
M. [G.H.?] Lewes.
