Richmond | Thursday.
My dear Blackwood
Proof goes by this post. But have you forgotten that I want to see proof of part III, 378 as I shall be en route just at the time it would in ordinary course be ready?
It is cheering to find you approve the series. Blood 379 which comes next will be much more interesting than this of Food; and the History of the discovery of the circulation 380 will, I think, excite some attention. I have made some curious experiments, and some piquant researches on this point.
What weather for your golf! and how it must set your circulation into vigorous activity. If we poor literary devils could only golf a little we shouldn't suffer so much from dyspepsia.
Ever truly yours
G. H. Lewes.
