June 1. 75.
Dear Mr. Harrison
If you could some day this week or the beginning of next, allow me half an hour's quiet t'eate-'e0-t'eate, I should be very much obliged by such a kindness.
I could call on you at 3 o'clock on any day except Saturday, or if it would be easier for you to come to me, I should be at home always at 5 o'clock, again with the exception of Saturday.
The trivial questions I want to put could hardly be shapen in a letter so as to govern an answer that would satisfy my need. And I trust that the interview will hardly be more troublesome to you than writing.
I have mentioned the hours of 3 and 5, but if you could specify any other hour on any day (before the 16th when we leave town) 269 I could accommodate myself to your appointment either for my visit or yours.
I hope when you learn the pettiness of my difficulties you will not be indignant, like a great doctor called in to the favourite cat. With best remembrances to Mrs. Harrison.
Yours always truly
M. E. Lewes.
