Can you remember and tell me? And now I commend
you to the good God, you and your History, and the true kind wife
who is always good to the eager Yankees, and am yours heartily,
--R.W. Emerson

XCI. Carlyle to Emerson
Chelsea, 8 April, 1844
Dear Emerson,--Till within five minutes of the limit of my time,
I had forgotten that this was the 3d of the Month; that I
had a Letter to write acknowledging even money! Take the
acknowledgment, given in all haste, not without a gratitude that
will last longer: the Thirty-six pounds and odd shillings came
safe in your Letter, a new unlooked-for Gift. America, I think,
is like an amiable family teapot; you think it is all out long
since, and lo, the valuable implement yields you another cup, and
another! Many thanks to you, who are the heart of America to me.
Republishing for one's friend's sake, I find on consulting my
Bookseller, is out here; we have Pirates waiting for every
American thing of mark, as you have for every British; to the
tender mercies of these, on both sides, I fancy the business must
be committed.
