Transcript
The Priory,
21, North Bank
Regents Park.
June 7. 75
The Pocket is perfect, my sweet Providence & will be a comfort to me in my earthly pilgrimage for a long while. The touch of colour is a charming device.
Loving thanks, dear. I should never have got anything comparable to this without your care for me. The feather-like lightness is the chief requisite for me. I could not carry a wallet at my side with an antique silver clasp either for duty or pleasure.
Be sure to write & let us know of your affairs & intentions before long. Your poor dear face, which we have been used to see so lively, has made a new memory of itself with the shadow of sorrows upon it.
Ever yours affectionately
M. E. Lewes
