GE to Mrs. Peter Alfred Taylor, London, 28 December 1873
Text: Cross, III, 221.
We have been spending our Christmas in the country, 904 and it is only on my return that I got your kind note, with its pretty symbols of remembrance. Such little signs are very sweet, coming from those whom one loves well, in spite of long separation. I am very glad to have seen you in your new home, 905 and to be able to imagine you among your household treasures, -- especially to imagine both you and your husband in enjoyable health. We have been invalidish lately, and have put ourselves under the discipline of Dr Andrew Clark, who is not one of the "three meat meals and alcohol" physicians, but rather one of those who try to starve out dyspepsia.
We both send our kind regards to Mr Taylor, and hope that he may remain robust for his parliamentary campaign. 906 Life, I trust, will deal gently with you in future, dear friend, and give you years of peace after your period of anxiety and of parting from old places and habits.
