The Priory, | 21. North Bank, | Regents Park.
October 10. 70.
Dearest B.
Here we are! I was beginning to lose belief in your affection, but not to lose my affection for you. Do not come on Thursday or Saturday, because on one of those days -- I am not certain which -- we shall be having a family party.
O what a lovely autumn is shining on those hideous guns which are being hauled along to Paris! What novices in wickedness were Milton's devils! 223 We shall like very much to hear how you have been spending the months, and how the Doctor is, and whether he contemplates staying in England through the winter, and how Nannie is situated on the other extremity of the French dominions. Come and tell us. I am always
Your faithfully affectionate
M. E. L.
