George Eliot to the Hon. Mrs. Robert Lytton, Harrogate, 8 July 1870. "I have lately finished reading aloud Mendelssohn's ‘Letters,’ 203 which we had often resolved and failed to read before. They have been quite cheering to us, from the sense they give of communion with an eminently pure, refined nature, with the most rigorous conscience in art. In the evening we have always a concert to listen to -- a concert of modest pretensions, but well conducted enough to be agreeable." GEL 5: 107
