GHL to Alexander Main, London, [23 November 1877]
MS: Harvard. Address: A. Main Esq. | 71 Millgate Loan | Arbroath | N.B. Postmark: LONDON N.W | C 12 | NO 23 | 77.
The Priory, Friday.
Dear M
B[lackwood] has written to Mrs. L. about the book 390 and she referred the decision to him. She is quite well. But when you consider the arduous correspondence which is necessary, and her weak health, you really must give up the idea of her writing merely to say you are not "forgotten"! When there is anything needful to be said be sure you will hear.
