Text: T. A. Trollope, What I Remember, 2d ed., 2 vols., 1887, II, 312-313, misdated 1864.
The Priory, | 21. North Bank, | Regents Park.
0 March.
My eldest boy, who spends his honeymoon in Florence (is not that sugaring jam tart?), brings you this greeting from your silent but affectionate friends. Tell him all particulars about yourselves, and he will transmit them in his letters to us. First and foremost about the health of your wife, 645 and how this bitter winter has treated her. Next about Bice, and then about yourself.
We rejoice in the prospect of your History of Florence, and I am casting about, hoping to find somebody to review it worthily for the Fortnightly Review. By the way, would not you or your wife help me there also! Propose your subjects!
I hope you will like our daughter. She is a noble creature; and Charles is a lucky dog (his father's luck) to get such a wife.
We have been and are in a poor state of health, but manage to scramble on. Charles will tell you all there is to tell. With our love to your dear wife and Bice,
Believe me, ever faithfully yours,
G. H. Lewes.
