GE to Charles Bray, Wandsworth, [21? November 1859]
MS: Yale. Address: Charles Bray Esq. Endorsed: 1859. Mrs. Gas'abkill'bbcoigne, 15 Gosford Terrace. Hitherto unpublished.
Holly Lodge | Monday.
Dear Friend
Mr. Lewes desires me to say, with thanks for your friendly invitation, that he has met Miss Glyn (or Mrs. Dallas) 397 several times in private, and has always thought her a pleasing woman; but he knows nothing further of her as a private person.
I know nothing of the "Sequel" to Adam Bede, beyond Newby's advertisement, which has ceased to appear in the London papers. Whether the Blackwoods have written to threaten him with an injunction, I have not yet heard.
Dickens has given me a frightful idea of the trouble and expense that belongs to a resistance of these piratical proceedings, and I am not disposed to worry myself on the subject.
What an Autumn! There never was such a dead robbery committed on one's [two words deleted] gold -- one's autumnal gold. 398 In hunger and haste
Ever yours
Marian Evans Lewes.
C. Bray Esq.
