Letter Content
GHL to Albert Cohn, London, 27 May 1873
MS: Coventry and Warwick Collection, Coventry City Libraries. Hitherto unpublished.
The Priory, | 21. North Bank, | Regents Park.
May 1873.
My dear Sir
In a fortnight or three weeks we shall be going abroad and should like therefore to receive the accounts of [Middlemarch] before setting out. The Easter accounts must be ready by this time. 806
The book continues its triumphant career and surprises us by the unflagging demand. 807 There is therefore every hope that the continental edition will be in continuous demand and that the summer tourists will also make a difference. It might be well to ascertain from the booksellers in the places to which English and Americans most resort whether their stocks are exhausted by the time the tourist tide sets in.
I had hoped to see you this summer, but now I suppose there is no chance of it.
Ever yours truly
G. H. Lewes.
Albert Cohn Esq.
