My dear Mr. Harrison
We returned from our health-seeking journey on Thursday evening, and your letter was the most delightful thing that awaited me at home. Be sure it will be much read and meditated, and may I not take it as an earnest that your help which has already done so much for me, will be continued? I mean, that you will help me by your thoughts and your sympathy, not that you will be teazed with my proofs.
I meant to write you a long letter about the aesthetic problem, but Mr. Lewes, who is still tormented with headachy effects from our rough passage, comes and asks me to walk to Hampstead with him. I do not like to leave your letter longer without acknowledgment, so I send these hasty lines. Come and see us soon.
Always yours sincerely
M. E. Lewes.
F. Harrison Esq.
