Dearest Nephew
Your note yesterday gave me much comfort, and I thank you for sparing the time to write it.
The world cannot seem quite the same to me as long as you are all in anxiety about her who is most precious to you -- in immediate urgent anxiety, that is. For love is never without its shadow of anxiety. We have this treasure in earthen vessels. With best love to her and all
Your affectionate Aunt
M. E. Lewes.
