GE to Barbara Leigh Smith, London, 29 June [1853]
MS: The Countess of Iddesleigh. Hitherto unpublished.
Strand | June 29.
My dear Miss Smith
I am trying to induce my friend Miss Hennell to come to London this week, and I feel confident that if I succeed, Miss Julia Smith -- and therefore all of you -- will be glad to see her with me at Ockley. I assure you she is far better worth knowing than I.
We must rest our hopes on the changeableness of the weather, and trust that as it is cold and rainy now, on Saturday it will be warm and sunny. 344
Ever yours truly
Marian Evans.
