Dear Mr. Allingham
The fact of your editorship gives a pleasant persuasiveness to the invitation you have sent me. But just now I am absorbed and could not entertain one additional proof.
I had heard with joy of Baby as an expectation, but an actual Gerald 350 come of age after perils makes joy all the safer.
Pray accept and offer to your wife my warm congratulations. But I shall owe Master Gerald a grudge if he greatly hinders Mamma's pencil. He is Posterity but -- Wer machte dann die Mitwelt Spass? 351
Always yours truly
M. E. Lewes.
