Letter Content
GE to Mr. Charles Bray and Caroline [Mrs. Charles] Bray, London, [30 November 1850]
MS: Yale. Extract published: George Eliot and John Chapman, pp. 13-14.
Strand. 903
Dear Friends
I mean to set off by the train that starts from Euston Sq. at 40 minutes past 11 on Monday. I have bought the Lucifers and done my duty about the Lamp shade, but to get one it will be necessary to send the old one as a pattern. We had a large soirée last night, but I will not tell you anything till I am seated in the red arm chair with my feet on the fender. I only hope you are all well and jolly. I have enjoyed my visit very much and am to come again in January.
Miss Lynn 904 was here last night. She says she was "never so attracted to a woman before as to me" -- I am "such a loveable person." She is so different from all I had imagined her that I was quite startled. Spectacles! and altogether an L.L. 905 looking person.
Ever your
Pollian.
