GE to Maria [Mrs. Richard] Congreve, London, 3 January 1865
Text: Cross, II, 394.
I hope the wish that this New Year may be a happy one to you does not seem to be made a mockery by any troubles or anxieties pressing on you.
I enclose a cheque, which I shall be obliged if you will offer to Mr Congreve, as I know he prefers that payments should be made at the beginning of the year.
I shall think of you on the nineteenth. 305 I wonder how many there really were in that "small upper room" 1866 years ago.
