1 L.A.S., 4 pages folded under is enveloppe: Autograph signed letter, dated April 16, 1866, sent to the Dean of St Pauls’: «Dear Dean, Comforting rumours reached me, while I was so ill, of the kind interest you took in me, for which forst let me thank you with all my heart. I really don’t know why [ … ] those who care for me would desire the prolongationof a life so denuded of all that makes life vakuable. Yet I cannot help being pleased at the thought that there are still some kind friends would do not like to part with me for ever. I am better, & as it seems, very likely to be for a while much I was before this singular & violent attack, which is not saying much – but it may enable me to do some thing more towards the completion of my work. Meantime, we are coming out, as you see, with a new edition of Ranke, which has long been called for. Murray asked me to write a few words of Preface,, «by way» as he said of giving a little «eclat» to the edition. Nothing can be more incongruous than eclat & my poor self & I have literally nothing to say. I said what I thought of the book before. I cannot well depraise my translation – what remains. If occurred to me, most dear & venerable Dean, that perhaps out of friendship to Murray (who so welle deserves it) you would prefix a page or two to this edition. The times are suggestive, & it is to be desired that among the many who call but for the downfall of the Papacy, some few would endeavour to know what it really is, & what the dangers that threatens it [… ] You will forgive me even an indiscret request. I forget whether I ever sent you a copy of the inscription on my husband’s tomb. All of it, except a few words, is mine [ etc… ].
