The Priory, | 21. North Bank, |Regents Park.
Dear Sir Henry
Montalba's address is R. A. Montalba, 20 Stanley Crescent, Kensington Park Gardens.
He and his daughters 449 not only can but will be delighted to give you all information artistic and sanitary about Venice which they know so well. As brother artists 450 you ought to be acquainted and I am sorry we shall not be in town to make our house the place of meeting. You need no other introduction than your name.
We trust lady Thompson still has good effects from the Henschel Kur 451 -- so delightful an evening ought to have nothing but delightful results.
Though I am sorry to say I had an agonizing attack of cramps which almost made me faint. That I should suffer thus for a lifelong abstemiousness!
Yours truly
G. H. Lewes.

Signature

G. H. Lewes.
