GE to Charles Bray, Richmond, [1 April 1856]
MS: Yale. Mostly published: Cross, I, 394-395.
Richmond | Tuesday.
Dear Friend
After I wrote you yesterday morning, we had a letter from Germany which has made Mr. Lewes incline to defer sending the boys thither till next year. But he is anxious to remove them from their present school, 690 and in the course of our consultations on the subject, we thought of Mr. John Sibree as a person in whom we should feel confidence as to the moral influence he would exercise as a tutor. The risk of placing children with entire strangers is terrible. So I teaze you with another letter to ask you if Mr. J. Sibree continues in the same position as formerly, and if he is still anxious to obtain pupils. 691 I know you will be kind enough to obtain all the information from Mrs. John Cash. 692 If your answer is satisfactory Mr. Lewes will then write to Mr. J. Sibree himself.
What a delicious day! We are going to have a holiday at the Zoological Gardens. Ever, with best love to all,
Yours faithfully
Marian.
