GE to Mr. Charles Bray and Caroline [Mrs. Charles] Bray, London, 15 November 1851
Text: Cross, 1, 265.
When Mr Noel had finished his farewell visit to-day, Mr Flower 1056 was announced, so my morning has run away in chat. Time wears, and I don't get on so fast as I ought, but I must scribble a word or two, else you will make my silence an excuse for writing me no word of yourselves. I am afraid Mr Noel and Mr Bray have given you a poor report of me. The last two days I have been a little better, but I hardly think existing arrangements can last beyond this quarter. Mr Noel says Miss L. 1057 is to visit you at Christmas. I hope that is a mistake, as it would deprive me of my hoped-for rest amongst you.
