Text: Main's copy owned by Mr. John R. Sprunt. Hitherto unpublished.
The Priory, | 21. North Bank, | Regents Park.
Saturday.
My dear Sir
Do not for a moment longer entertain the idea that we were in the least annoyed at not seeing this part VII. We simply expected to see it, as we had seen the others. I might have perhaps suggested the insertion of a pet passage here and there; but as to the general selection we could have no doubt how that would be made.
Yours very truly
G. H. Lewes.
A. Main Esq.
