Adieu, my dear Emerson. May a good Genius guide you; for you
are _alone, alone;_ and have a steep pilgrimage to make,--
leading _high,_ if you do not slip or stumble!
Ever your affectionate,
T. Carlyle

LXXXII. Carlyle to Emerson
Chelsea, 1 April, 1843
My Dear Carlyle,--Along with this Letter there will go from
Liverpool, on the 4th instant, the promised Parcel, complete Copy
of the Book called _Past and Present,_ of which you already had
two simultaneous announcements.* The name of the Steam Packet, I
understand, is the "Britannia." I have addressed the Parcel to
the care of "Messrs. Little and Brown, Booksellers, Boston," with
your name atop: I calculate it will arrive safe enough.
---------
* The letter making the second announcement, being very similar
to the preceding, is omitted.
---------
About one hundred pages of the Manuscript Copy have proved
superfluous, the text being there also in a printed shape; I had
misestimated the Printer's velocity; I was anxious too that
there should be no failure as to time.
