" Furness goes on to ask for my "good word" with
you in furtherance of this design. Well, I heartily hope you
will not resist so much good nature and true love; for Mr.
Furness and Mr. Griswold, and others who compose a sort
of advising committee to Mr. Carey, are sincere lovers of
yours. One more opportunity this crisis in our accounts will
give to that truest of all Carlylians, E.P. Clark, to make his
report. I called at his house two nights ago, in Boston; he
promised immediate attention, but quickly drew me aside to
his "Illustrations of Carlyle," an endless train of books, and
portfolios, and boxes of prints, in which every precious word of
that master is explained or confirmed.
Affectionately yours,
R.W. Emerson

one Letter; and there now has another Letter arrived, which on
the footing of mere business demands to be answered.
