Dear Trio
Pity me -- I have had the headache for four days incessantly. But now I am well and even the Strand seems an elysium by contrast.
I set off on Tuesday for Edinburgh -- by express. This is awfully expensive, but it seems the only way of reaching there alive with my frail body. I have had the kindest notes from the Combes and from Harriet Martineau.
I should think you have got the Review by this time. Let me know what you all think of it. I have no time for anything -- my headache has wasted so much. Of course I shall write when I have been at Edinburgh a day. A thousand loves to you all.
Your
Marian.
