GE to John Walter Cross, London, 24 February 1879
Text: Cross, III, 349.
A transient absence of mind yesterday made me speak as if it were possible for me to entertain your thoughtful, kind proposal that I should move to Weybridge for a short time. But I cannot leave this house for the next two months, -- if for no other reason, I should be chained here by the need of having all the books I want to refer to.
