GHL to Edward F. S. Pigott, Wandsworth, [6 May 1859]
MS: Mr. Gordon N. Ray.
Holly Lodge | Friday.
My dear Pigott
It is unfortunate that you should have delayed your welcome visit until just as we are "on the wing" -- whither we know not, nor for how long -- but only a few days, 450 our health being very far from satisfactory. Not Saturday therefore!
When we return I will ask you and Redford to d'e9dommager us. It is an age since we chatted and chaunted together!
I began to be alarmed about myself the other day, for I fainted dead away suddenly, without any premonitory symptom. 451 Whether head or stomach, or both were in fault I know not; but it made me grave.
Capital news from Hofwyl and the best of all news from Edinburgh.
With our kind regards to both, Believe me ever yours
G. H. Lewes.
