EASTLAKE
(Elizabeth, 1809-1893, née Rigby, Authoress and Traveller, wife of Sir Charles Lock Eastlake, 1793-1865, President of the Royal Academy, 1850-1865)
Autograph letter signed to Lady Castletown
saying that her letter “has been much on my mind. But in truth, while waiting for better days & nights I have only had worse! till I am somewhat worn out. No opiates touch me - except quantities of chloral, & the pain goes on exactly as furiously through its drowsiness or without it. I am so glad you and yours know ‘Jackanapes’, as for Irving he was not so easily obtained as I thought & only Saturday brought the little vol. to me. I send it on to today... I am sure you will like the analyses of the dramatic art as well as the analysis of (to me) odious... Meanwhile I take short sips of yr strong thoughtful book ‘The Natural Laws’. I am certain the theory must be true - all is Law & harmony in God’s world & in the relations of its different parts. Both yr charming books are safe with me - or rather safe to get back to their owner... Pray keep Irving if you fancy him. I hope you are enjoying this beautiful weather somewhere. I am flooded with sunshine but Pain enjoys nothing! I must hope to give you a better account before long - meanwhile do not trouble your kind hearts about me...”, 4 sides 8vo., 7 Fitzroy Square, 12th March

Fine Typed Letter Signed to Miss Emily Boone
of the Woman’s Student Government Association at Duke University in North Carolina, thanking her for her invitation and saying that “it would be a pleasure to me to give a reading at Duke University, and the fee you mention is quite satisfactory, but I have reluctantly decided that I shall be so busy in Chicago that it would be impossible for me on this visit to go so far afield, and such time as I shall have in the United States, and not established in Chicago, I wish to reserve for my family in Massachusetts. I can only hope that on some other visit I may be able to accept a similar invitation...”, 1 side 4to., Faber & Faber headed paper, 24 Russell Square, London, 31st May
