GHL to William Hale White, London, 5 September 1876
Text: Copy by Mrs. William Hale White. Hitherto unpublished.
The Priory, | 21. North Bank, | Regents Park.
September 76.
My dear Sir
On our return home we find the very acceptable present you have sent Mrs. Lewes, with the graceful letter which preceded it. She is much touched at your having thought of gratifying her by the portrait of her old favorite; and although I am glad to hear that Mr. Maccall has had work placed in his hands, I cannot recognize in my own slight share in that business anything more than a simple duty of comradeship to a fellow worker, not at all deserving of the generous acknowledgment you made. 518
Very truly yours
G. H. Lewes.
