Almost hope Mr [George Henry] Lewes will refuse your paper as I want that one for Cornhill. The Fortnightly not as bad as the Westminster. Tell Mrs Westlake we expect her to get all 150,000 people in parish of Marylebone, besides St. Pancras and Paddington, to sign. ED would like a copy of the petition; will it be printed? Is there anyone in Hastings to get petition up there? Glad her interest in subject increases. ED delighted with Felix Holt: seems to present a view of women that we want to have looked at. [Felix Holt written March 1865 - 31 May 1866. H.G. Lewes ed. Fortnightly 1865 - Dec 1866; 1st issue 15 May 1865.]
