May 8. 77.
Dear Friend
Is the request I am going to make too great? It is, that I may be allowed to bring to you Madame Wagner at a time when you will be personally at liberty.
She is, I think, a rare person, worthy to see the best things, having her father's (Liszt's) quickness and breadth of comprehension. Monday is the day we have conditionally proposed to ourselves. Can you confirm our plan by your permission? Madame Wagner will lunch with us, and we could drive to you afterwards so as to be with you about three -- or later, if this were more convenient to you.
Yours always truly
M. E. Lewes.
