Sept 21 [?1870]

MS location unknown, formerly owned by Georgina Battiscombe.1

I do not go on the principle of no love at all, and letting nobody marry, but I do not think it will do to have it the whole subject and interest of the story.2

1This fragment is quoted by Enid Huws Jones, Mrs Humphry Ward (London : Heinemann, 1973), who states that the MS was then owned by Georgina Battiscombe.
2The letter is described as a rejection of a story called ‘A Gay Life’ as unsuitable for MP.,
