GE to Barbara [Mme Eugene] Bodichon, London, [28? October 1861]
MS: Mr. Philip Leigh-Smith. Hitherto unpublished.
Dearest Barbara
I send Amelia with the sketches you so kindly lent us, because I am afraid of the responsibility of having anything that does not belong to us in our house for many months. The house might be burnt down, or what might not happen? Thanks for the loan of them so far -- they are very interesting.
You will find a moment to say goodby 862 to us. I have been in bed for nearly two days with cold and bilious ailments. 863
Ever yours
M. E. L.
