METEYARD
(Eliza, 1816-1879, Writer, Journalist, Essayist and Authority on Wedgwood Pottery and its Creator)
Fine Long Autograph Letter Signed to Lady Drysdale
telling her that she had "accomplished my small journey on Friday - both pleasantly and safely - and found my little home bright and cheerful. My poor invalid was however not so well - and had been failing again - for some days previously so that had I remained your guest a little longer - the chance is I should have been sent for. She is but the mere shadow of a shade - no flesh on any of her bones - and our good surgeon has now had her back plaistered [sic] to give it strength and keep the bones from protruding. She however still comes down stairs - though I must shortly house her upstairs like the frailest of hot-house plants. She has already worn your charming gift and highly prizes it. She thanks you heartily ... I do not feel very well myself this morning. This plunge into business and care suits me rather ill after a month's laziness. I hope Dr Lane has returned and is better for his little respite. Present my best love to Mrs Lane ... I thank her for all her courtesies - as I do you my dear Lady Drysdale ... I met Mr Howitt on Saturday at the London Library. He said all were well at Esher ...", 4 sides 8vo., Wildwood, Hampstead, 12th October
