Text: Copy by Edwin Mallard Everett.
The Priory, | 21. North Bank, | Regents Park.
Dear Morley
Thanks for your offer, which I may probably avail myself of in the early summer.
I am reading Voltaire 64 with intense interest. Last year I read Strauss's book 65 with such memories and impatience that I exclaimed, [Is there no one to attempt this great task in a quite other style!] and lo! here is that other.
Yours ever
G. H. L.
I am plotting a little paper on Dickens for the Fortnightly -- not a review of Forster, 66 so that you may hold yourself quite free on that score.
