GE to Mrs. Peter Alfred Taylor, London, 14 May 1875
Text: Cross, III, 258.
You are right -- there is no time, but only the sense of not having time: especially when, instead of filling the days with useful exertion, as you do, one wastes them in being ill, as I have been doing of late. However, I am better now, and will not grumble. Thanks for all the dear words in your letter. Be sure I treasure the memory of your faithful friendship, which goes back -- you know how far.
