GE to John Blackwood, Torquay, 3 April 1868
MS: National Library of Scotland. Hitherto unpublished.
Torquay | April 3. 68.
My dear Sir
A spasm of self-suspicion having made me look back at the printed sheets I still have by me (I have not the first nine), I see that I have left the spelling Fidalma uncorrected throughout the second batch of proofs. I write in order to save the printer's time, and so do what I can to mend my own laxity. Will you mention that everywhere Fedalma must be substituted? 735
Yours penitently
M. E. Lewes.
John Blackwood Esq.
