Letter Content
GHL to John Blackwood, London, [15 April 1873]
MS: National Library of Scotland.
The Priory, | 21. North Bank, | Regents Park.
Tuesday.
My dear Blackwood
If you have kept my last you will find with it a letter specially intended to be sent to Prof. Tait, carefully indicating all I wished him to do. If you have destroyed it drop me word on a post card and I will [give my mind] to the composition of another. Here is more m.s.
We rejoice that your watery ordeal 178 has proved successful, and hope for no recurrence. Fancy you one of the Alliance -- cheek by jowl with Sir W. Lawson! 179
Mrs. Lewes is deep in the Greek poets, 180 but without being positively unwell cannot get up her strength and energy to set to work. We are looking out for a country retreat, and hope that quiet and sunshine (if to be had) will bring the bloom on her cheek and her pen to the paper.
The news about [Middlemarch] very acceptable. She begs to be most kindly remembered to you and Willie.
Ever yours truly
G. H. L.
