GE to Frederic Harrison, London, 8 January 1875
MS: Tinker Collection, Yale. Envelope: Frederic Harrison Esq | 1 Southwick Place | Hyde Park Square | W. Postmarks: ST. JOHNS-WOOD | C5 | JA 8 | 75 | N.W; LONDON-W. | JA | JA 8 | 75. Hitherto unpublished.
The Priory, | 21. North Bank, | Regents Park.

Dear Mr. Harrison
I am hating myself for having caused you any extra work when you were already overladen, and especially sorry that I did not say "There is no hurry." I can wait for anything further until you are at leisure -- which I imagine you will hardly be by Saturday. On almost all days we are at home again after our drive and walk by 5 o'clock, and ready to chat.
Your letter -- for which I am sorrowfully grateful -- contains probably as much as I shall need, but a question or two might arise which you could easily settle for me in conversation.
Pray remember that I am in no haste. I am only needing the facts prospectively, and needing them rather as ground for feeling to act on, than as materials for exact statement.
Yours always sincerely
M. E. Lewes.
