Letter Content
GE Journal, London, 6-18 May 1863
MS: Yale. Extracts published: Cross, II, 351-353.
May 6.
We have just returned from Dorking whither I went a fortnight ago, to have solitude while George took his journey to Hofwyl to see Bertie. The weather was severely cold for several days of my stay, and I was often ailing. That has been the way with me for a month and more and in consequence I am backward with my July number of Romola -- the last part but one.
At the 37th page, having made a large excision of matter for the sake of rapidity.
Sunday.
Wrote this morning the beginning of the Trial by Fire. 153 I am very feeble, finding the latter half of the day all weariness.
* 14.
Read Part XIII to G. up to the moment when Spini gives the order about Tito. 154
Finished Part XIII. Killed Tito in great excitement! -- Went to see the Priory, North Bank, a house we think of buying.
Began Part XIV -- the last! 155 Yesterday George saw Count Arrivabene, who wishes to translate Romola, and says the Italians are indebted to me.
