GE to Maria [Mrs. Richard] Congreve, London, 1 August 1865
Text: Cross, II, 408.
I fear that my languor on Saturday 366 prevented me from fairly showing you how sweet and precious your presence was to me then, as at all times.
We have almost made up our minds to start some time in this month for a run in Normandy and Brittany. We both need the change; though when I receive, as I did yesterday, a letter from some friend telling me of cares and trials from which I am quite free, I am ashamed of wanting anything.
