Letter from William R. Greg, Windermere, to Madame Blaze de Bury, 1853? February 3 : autograph manuscript signed.

Notifying her that he has heard from Mr. (George Cornewall) Lewis regarding her proposed topic for a piece for the Edinburgh Review, and conveying Lewis's response to the effect that he has already engaged for an article on the subject of "Joseph's Memoir", but would be happy to receive from her "an article on the subject which she is so good as to propose."; warning her that there may be delays in publishing her article once it is accepted, as the editor is "overpressed with matter on all hands"; observing the her years in France have "somewhat impaired" her "English idiom", and that he has noticed "several gallicisms" in her style; promising to seek out her book Germania (1850), and noting that he had a copy of the English edition which he did not read as he was busy and not yet acquainted with her; expressing his hope that he will see her in Paris, although he expects his trip to be "less agreeable & profitable than usual" owing to the expected absence of Lady Easthope and another "lady friend"; asking her when Paris begins to empty out, as he does not wish to miss seeing some of his friends there, "especially Tocqueville & Gingot (of whom you speak so barbarously in Mildred Vernon)."
