GE to Charles Lee Lewes, London, [28 April 1879]
MS: Yale. Published: Paterson, p. 181, dated December 1878. o'clock.
Dearest Boy
I have been to the Paddington Station and waited 'bd an hour for the train and when after all it came, I missed you! 228
Everything is at cross-purposes. I forwarded to you a letter from Mr. Pulley, 229 and begged you to write to him that you would meet him (as he asked you to do) at the Devonshire Club tomorrow at 'bd past 5 -- to 6. Do so now -- pray, because it is important that you should see him.
I should prefer your bringing Eliza, unless it is a disadvantage to you to miss the office. Will you bring her and the children to lunch? or will it be better after? and you can go on to the club from the Priory. I can take Eliza and the children home in the carriage. 230
Thy
Mutter.
