Letter Content
GE to the Hon. Lady Sebright, London, 1 January 1876
MS: The Countess of Iddesleigh. Hitherto unpublished.
The Priory, | 21. North Bank, | Regents Park.
January 1. 1876.
Dear Lady Sebright 378
Many thanks for your kind remembrance of us. We are hermits, and rarely know anything of the world except through the stragglers from the crowd, who visit our cell.
But I hope that our going to you at Beechwood is not a necessary condition to your finding your way hitherward again on a Sunday when you are in town. Of late I have been invalided by cold and the sequel of small miseries that a cold usually leaves behind. We should be relieved to hear that Lady Castletown's health is re-established. The last news we heard of her was, that she was at Fontainebleau, still in a very delicate state.
Mr. Lewes begs to be remembered by you kindly in spite of our unsociable habits, and we both hope to exchange opinions with you in the spring on the Italian actors who are coming to lighten our theatrical darkness.
Always yours sincerely
M. E. Lewes.
