My Dear Willie . . .
I had an hour's talk with George Eliot today. In spite of that stern moralist Langford I shall always regard and esteem her. She is working away at her novel but is not so far on as she intended to be. She gave me a long account of their views her hopes and fears about it. It promises to be something wonderful -- English provincial life. . . .
ever yours affectionately
John Blackwood.
