GE to Mrs. Peter Alfred Taylor, Witley, 17 September 1879
Text: Cross, III, 379-380.
I am getting strong now, after a long spell of medical discipline. All these long months I have been occupied with my husband's manuscripts: also with the foundation of a Physiological Studentship, which is my monument to his memory, and which is now all settled, as you may perhaps have seen by advertisements. But I am not yet through the proof reading of the final volume of [Problems of Life and Mind,] which will contain the last sheets he ever wrote. 319
I hear very good accounts of Madame Bodichon, who is coming to me for a couple of days on the 29th.
You are wonderful for life and energy, in spite of your delicate looks. May you have all the strength you need for your sympathetic tasks!
