GE Journal, London, 26 February 1862
MS: Yale. Extracts published: Cross, II, 336.
I have been very ailing all this last week and have worked under impeding discouragement. I have a distrust in myself, in my work, in others' loving acceptance of it which robs my otherwise happy life of all joy. I ask myself, without being able to answer, whether I have ever before felt so chilled and oppressed.
On Saturday pleasant Mr. Williams 35 from Birmingham joined our party. Yesterday, G. and I went to <Teddington> Egham by railway and walked on to Englefield Green to see a house which is to be let there. We were pleased to have found out a beautiful country where we may, if we like, have lodgings at the Barley Mow Inn. I have written now about 60 pages of my romance. Will it ever be finished? -- ever be worth anything?
