Adieu, dear friend, with blessings always.
--T. Carlyle
Poor Sydney Smith is understood to be dying; water on the chest;
past hope of Doctors. Alas!

* The dwellers by the Dead Sea who were changed to apes are
referred to in various places by Carlyle. He tells the story of
the metamorphosis, which he got from the introduction to Sale's
Koran, in _Past and Present,_ Book III. Ch. 3.

C. Emerson to Carlyle*
Concord, June 29, 1845
My Dear Friend,--I grieve to think of my slackness in writing,
which suffers steamer after steamer to go without a letter. But
I have still hoped, before each of the late packets sailed, that
I should have a message to send that would enforce a letter. I
wrote you some time ago of Mr. Carey's liberal proposition in
relation to your _Miscellanies._ I wrote, of course, to Furness,
through whom it was made to me, accepting the proposition; and I
forwarded to Mr. Carey a letter from me to be printed at the
beginning of the book, signifying your good-will to the edition,
and acknowledging the justice and liberality of the publishers.
