GE to Maria [Mrs. Richard] Congreve, London, 4 December 1865
Text: Cross, II, 413-414.
We send to-day [Orley Farm,] [The Small House at Allington,] and [The Story of Elizabeth.] [The Small House] is rather lighter than [Orley Farm.] [The Story of Elizabeth] is by Miss Thackeray. It is not so cheerful as Trollope, but is charmingly written. You can taste it and reject it if it is too melancholy.
I think more of you than you are likely to imagine, and I believe we talk of you all more than of any other mortals.
