GE to Mrs. Ernst Leopold Benzon, London, [26 September 1870]
MS: Knox College, Galesburg, Illinois.
The Priory, | 21. North Bank, | Regents Park.
Monday.
My dear Mrs. Benzon
I am an unfortunate person. Yesterday I was attacked with an aching in the gums, from cold or some other disturbance. It increased during the night, and now I am not well enough to dare the journey which would take me to you. Happily, I know Tunbridge Wells and many of its pretty drives and walks, so that I shall be able to imagine my husband's enjoyment in walking and driving with you.
I shall trust to your coming to smile on me when you are once more in town. With best regards
Ever yours affectionately
M. E. Lewes.
