Transcript
The Priory,
21, North Bank,
Regents Park.
Mar. 19. 74
Dear ministering Spirit
I shall be still further grateful if you will order me the cloak lined with squirrel, just like your own. Why it should be dearer now than at the beginning of Winter is one of the mysteries of the retail trade, with respect to which I suppose we are to be religiously unenquiring.
If the cloak makes reason for you to come again soon, I shall be doubly a gainer.
Yours always
M. E. Lewes
