My dear Mrs. Tollemache
To be assured that you bear me in mind with affectionate regard, as I do you, is very sweet to me. Meetings are difficult to manage in this busy world, but happily there are beings of whom we do not need to see very much in order to have them as a cheering spiritual presence in our memories. This is what I felt about you when I first made your acquaintance.
I trust that your health has been quite equal to duties which involve so much anxious feeling as those do in which you have lately been absorbed.
We are both of us rather ailing in body, but in other respects full of happiness beyond our share.
Yours with constant memory,
M. E. Lewes.
