John Blackwood to Mrs. John Blackwood, London, 19 May 1875
Text: John Blackwood, p. 387.
The Burlington, May 19, 1875.
I went yesterday by appointment to lunch with the Leweses, where I was most cordially welcomed. She is looking pale and a little languid, but that was to be expected under the interesting circumstances, as she delivered to me a volume of MS. 247 which I am yearning to sit down to. As I left she said, "Now bring me a particular account of Jack. Nobody is more interested in the house of Blackwood than I am." I had told her I was going to Storrington to-morrow to see him. 248
