GE to Charles Lee Lewes, London, [13 October 1868]
MS: Yale. Endorsed: 14 Oct. 68. Published: Paterson, pp. 135-136.
The Priory, | 21. North Bank, | Regents Park.
Tuesday.
Dearest Boy
I forgot to ask you last night to do me a kindness, when you have the necessary time -- namely to get me some music from your city man. I think it will be good for me hygienically as well as on other grounds, to be roused into practising.
I dare say you know of things by Schumann and Schubert, of the genre, for example, of Schumann's Arabesque. Also I should like to have an arrangement of Verdi's best operas for the Piano. Pater likes hearing those things.
These are indications which you can perhaps carry out for me better than I could tell you. If I trust to our getting anything ourselves -- except books -- I usually end by going without it. So you can -- or rather I know you will if you can -- be of delightful use to
Your loving
Mutter.
