November 2. 74.
My dear Mr. Blackwood
Since I wrote my letter to Mr. William Blackwood we have seen our son Charles, who tells us that during our absence, three weeks ago, he sent you an article of his on Mrs. Nassau Senior's Report on Workhouse Schools. I was sorry to hear that he had done so, because I feared that the article might not be suitable for the Magazine and that it might be a rule of yours to throw rejected articles at once into the Dom-daniel. We care about it particularly on account of our friend Mrs. N. Senior and her labours, and if the paper has not been already thrown out of reach I shall be much obliged if you will send it me. It is not a penny-a-lining literary affair, but an effort to put some serious social labour in the right light.
We were glad to hear from Mr. William Blackwood that you and yours are all well.
Always yours sincerely
M. E. Lewes.
