GE to Mrs. John Cash, London, 10 April 1877
MS: Miss Mary Kirby. Hitherto unpublished.
The Priory, | 21. North Bank, | Regents Park.
April 10. 77.
My dear Mrs. Cash
I thank you sincerely for associating me with an event which is full of the tenderest memories for you and your Brother. Not of grief. For your Father's 639 long and well-filled life seems to me to have been thoroughly cheerful and cheering, and your account of his death shows that the long bright day had such an ending as one would have wished for.
I trust that your silence about the family round your own hearth is a sign of untroubled health and peace. Please thank your Brother for me that he remembers me with friendly interest.
I cannot just now improve upon the news he heard of us from our friends at Barr's Hill, for I am still in a troublesome and fluctuating state of health, and Mr. Lewes, though his activity has returned, is a good deal tormented with headache. But we are enjoying our lives nevertheless -- which shows that we have less than our share of mortal ills. He remembers you with much pleasure, and is glad to be borne in mind by you in return.
Always, dear Mrs. Cash,
Yours affectionately
M. E. Lewes.
