Letter Content

GE to Mrs. William Henry Smith, London, 18 February 1874
MS: Drew University Library.
The Priory, | 21. North Bank, | Regents Park.
February 18. 74.
Dear Friend
Mr. Browning writes me word that M. Milsand's 228 address is 31 rue Perronet, Neuilly, Paris. And he adds "I am glad indeed that he will get so pleasant an evidence that his work has had the effect he would most wish."
I hope I am not doing wrong in sending you the enclosed letter. In all fellowship there is strength -- even in that of irremediable sorrow.
Yours ever affectionately
M. E. Lewes.
Burn the letter -- you need not return it. Of course it is for no eyes but yours.

Signature

M. E. Lewes.
