Dear Friend
I forgot to say yesterday that if you write to me at East Sheen, I must beg you to enclose the letter to G. H. Lewes Esq. I will tell you the reason of this when I see you. If you are ever able to come to me, let me know the day before, that I may be at home and meet you at the station.
I have not yet lost the glow of joy at the sight of you.
Ever your affectionate
Marian.
