GE to Mrs. Edward Burne-Jones, London, 4 February 1879
Text: Cross, III, 347-348.
Do not believe that your love is lost upon me, dear. I bless you for all your goodness to me, and keep every sign of it in my memory.
I have been rather ill lately, but my head is clearer this morning. The world's winter is going, I hope, but my everlasting winter has set in. You know that, and will be patient with me.
