Letter Content
GE to Mrs. Frank Rodbard Malleson, London, [20? July 1869]
MS: University of Minnesota.
The Priory, | North Bank, | Regents Park.
Dear Mrs. Malleson
I feel painful doubts and difficulties about your undertaking, but I am never confident in my own opinions positive or negative on practical matters, so that I am hardly hopeful about the value any questioning of mine could have. But if you have half an hour to spare for a call on me I should like very much to inform myself further about the views on which the Prospectus is based. 873
The instruction of Working Women on so high and difficult a scale seems to me unpracticable, nay, not desirable.
But I feel sure that you have weighed the matter more than I have, and that your plan includes conditions, and perhaps embraces a class, other than I had contemplated.
I am very ignorant of London life.
Ever yours faithfully
M. E. Lewes.
