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
