Letter Content
GE to John Blackwood, Richmond, 1 March 1857
MS: National Library of Scotland. Extracts published: Cross, I, 432-433.
March 1 /57.
My dear Sir
Thank you for the copy of Maga, and for the accompanying cheque. One has not many correspondents whose handwriting has such agreeable associations as yours.
I return the proof of Part 2 and send by the same post the M.S. of Part 3 which I hope you will like. The concluding Part shall follow as soon as possible.
I was particularly pleased with that extract you were so good as to send me from Mr. Swayne's letter. Dear old [Goldie] is one of my earliest and warmest admirations and I don't desire a better fate than to lie side by side with him in people's memories.
If it will not be inconvenient to you, I shall be glad to have a proof of Part 3 in the course of the next ten days, as Lewes will be moving on the 14th or 15th, and I should like to have him cast his eyes over the proof, which it will be difficult to shoot after him until he is settled again.
Yours very truly
George Eliot.
J. Blackwood Esq.
