From Geraldine Jewsbury   May 1--1863

43 Markham Square | Kings Road Chelsea | S. W. May 1—1863

Dear Dr Tyndall—I have received a message for you w[hic]h. it w[oul]d. be worse than embezzlement on my part not to give up to you—so I send it you1 in the original hand writing that you may have it genuine.

Whose were the fairy fingers2 that illustrated y[ou]r lecture the other day?3—I envied them the good luck of being selected to do any thing to give you pleasure & make you some return for all the good you do to so many others—I hope you are pretty well—

in haste y[ou]rs always faithfully | G. E Jewsbury

never mind returning the enclosure nor answering this—

RI MS JT/1/J/31

RI MS JT/1/TYP/2/658

I send it you: enclosure missing.

Whose were the fairy fingers: not identified, but possibly female!

y[ou]r lecture the other day: see letter 1987, n. 4.
