Letter Content
GE to Frederick Locker, London, 13 June 1870
MS: The late Dr. Herman T. Radin. Envelope: Frederick Locker Esq. | 91 Victoria Street | Westminster | W. Postmark: LONDON-N.W | 2 | JU 13 | 70. Hitherto unpublished.
The Priory, | 21. North Bank, | Regents Park.
June 13. 70.
My dear Mr. Locker
Although you told me not to acknowledge your gift, 199 I do not forbear to please myself by thanking you, now that I have read them, for their delicate and tender charm.
I am sorry to say, that the return of Mr. Lewes's nervous exhaustion is driving us away from town again, according to Dr. Reynolds's prescription. He recommends the Yorkshire coast, and we are going thither, or possibly first to Cromer, on Wednesday or Thursday. I hope that you will not let us quite drop from your mind, and that you will let me have the pleasure of seeing you again when both you and we are in London.
How one would enjoy this continuous sunshine if the poor earth were not so thirsty!
Always yours sincerely
M. E. Lewes.
