GHL to Henry Jennings, Witley, 21 September 1877
Text: Copy by Edwin Mallard Everett.
The Heights, | Witley, Surrey | 21 September 77.
Sir
Mrs. Lewes has an objection to the modern system of applying to living persons for their autograph, and has never acceded to any request for her's. I also object; but as I have weakly consented in some cases I cannot refuse to sign myself
Yours truly
G. H. Lewes.
H. Jennings, Esq.
