GE to Mary Sibree, St. Leonard's, 13 June [1848]
MS: Miss Mary Kirby. Hitherto unpublished.
Marina | St. Leonard's | June 13th.
Alas dear love my heart is bleeding for my poor Father who is suffering as badly as ever. We shall be at home again, all things continuing as they are, on Friday evening. Your letter was very precious to me and so are you ma mignonne. I shall soon have my hand in yours and read comfort in your kind face. This afternoon I am too sad to write more. It is real anguish to see suffering that one cannot alleviate, and it requires some days to get calmness under the trial.
Your affectionate
Mary Ann Evans.
Do take care of yourself dear child. You are getting thin and delicate. I do not like the change.
