GE to Maria [Mrs. Richard] Congreve, London, 11 April 1865
Text: Cross, II, 401.
We are wondering if, by any coincidence or condition of things, you could come to us on Thursday, when we have our last evening party -- wondering how you are -- wondering everything about you, and knowing nothing. Could you resolve some of our wonderings into cheering knowledge? It is ages since you made any sign to us. Are we to be blamed, or you? I hope you are not unfavourably affected by the sudden warmth which comes with the beautiful sunshine. Some word of you, in pity!
