GE to Maria [Mrs. Richard] Congreve, London, [16 March 1868]
Text: Cross, III, 34-35, dated 17 March 1868.
We go to-morrow morning to Torquay for a month, 728 and I can't bear to go without saying a word of farewell to you. How sadly little we have seen each other this winter! It will not be so any more, I hope, will it?
We are both much in need of the change, for Mr Lewes has got rather out of sorts again lately. When we come back I shall ask you to come and look at us before the bloom is off. I should like to know how you all are; but you have been so little inspired for note-writing lately, that I am afraid to ask you to send me a line to the Post Office at Torquay. I really deserve nothing of my friends at present.
