Copy of letter from Georgiana Burne-Jones to / Beatrice Stella Campbell) / (Mrs Patrick Campbell) / The Grange / 49, North End Road, / West Kensington, W. / Oc: 6 1896 Dearest Stella, Yes, he [William Morris] is gone, but not before he had done so much! / I am lost in thankfulness for what he has done, & I believe / that the effect of it is only now beginning. he has left noth- / ing unfinished - which is wonderful. The very last thing he was / writing he has dictated to the very end after he became too / weak to write himself. (Is not that good, showing his soul was / strong still?) / But it is a loss not to be made up for in this life, / & we know it. / He was drawn to his grave today on a farmer's wain, / with a dapple grey horse in clanking harness, & branches / from the willows by his beloved river decking it, We have come /back to prepare to go on living, for as long as it may be - / not to droop & waste the days. / Thankyou for your message, my dear, and may you / have strength for all your work. / Your loving / G. Burne-Jones.
