Letter Content
GE to Frederic Harrison, London, [23? May 1866]
MS: Yale, inserted in Mr. C. B. Tinker's copy of Felix Holt. Endorsed: Jan: 10: 66. Hitherto unpublished.
The Priory, | 21. North Bank, | Regents Park.
My dear Mr. Harrison
This trial scene 462 has been written under horrible pressure owing to ill health with its hindrances.
Will you cast your eyes over it and see if there is anything wrong or absurd? I found, in time to correct some allusions in the previous dialogue, that felons were not allowed to have counsel till 1836.
Will you let me have the M.S. again today? I have not read it all over myself.
Yours sincerely,
M. E. Lewes.
