Carlyle
I will apprise Sterling before long: he is at Falmouth, and
well; urging me much to start a Periodical here!

* "Life of Jean Paul Frederic Richter. Compiled from various
Sources. Together with his Autobiography. Translated from the
German." In Two Volumes. Boston, 1842. This book, which is one
of the best in English concerning Jean Paul, was the work of the
late Mrs. Thomas (Eliza Buckminster) Lee.
** In the _Dial,_ for January, 1842, is an article by Miss Fuller
on "Bettine Brentano and Gunderode,"--a decided weariness. The
Canoness Gunderode was a friend of Bettine's, older and not much
wiser than herself.

Chelsea, London, 11 March, 1848

an indisputable wish that you would do it: but this present is a
cursory line, all on business,--and as usual all on business of
my own.
