Dear Bessie
You would like to meet Mr. Anthony Trollope, I think, should you not? We expect him to be one of a small gathering we shall have on the evening of the 24th, to make some brightness on the day Charlie comes of age. 202 If you would like to come, and have no reason to the contrary, do. If not, there has been no harm done by an invitation entre nous. 203
Ever yours
M. E. Lewes.
