GE to Maria [Mrs. Richard] Congreve, London, 22 December 1867
Text: Cross, III, 28.
Our Christmas will be very quiet. On the 27th Mr Lewes means to start on a solitary journey to Bonn, and perhaps to W'fcrzburg, for anatomical purposes. I don't mean that he is going to offer himself as an anatomical subject, but that he wants to get answers to some questions bearing on the functions of the nerves. It is a bad time for him to travel in, but he hopes to be at home again in ten days or a fortnight, and I hope the run will do him good rather than harm.
