Description:Eliot thanks Alice for the present of a pocket. 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 Note: George Eliot (born Mary Ann Evans) was a local authoress based in the Coventry and Nuneaton district, from 1819-1880.
