My dear Miss Davies
Whenever it will not be a bad example to set down subscriptions of £50 for the Ladies' College, Mr. Lewes begs that you will enter that sum on the list as coming from "the author of Adam Bede," or of "Romola" -- whichever title you may prefer. 777
We wish to give our adhesion to the good work: but are afraid of promising more money to an object which many rich people are likely to further, lest we should narrow our means of helping in cases known only to ourselves.
Always yours sincerely
M. E. Lewes.
