Adieu, my Friend. Is it likely we shall meet in "Oregon," think
you? That would be a beautiful affair, on the part of the most
enlightened Nation!
Yours ever,
T. Carlyle


CVII. Carlyle to Emerson
Chelsea, 3 March, 1846
Dear Emerson,--I must write you a word before this Packet go,
tho' my haste is very great. I received your two Newspapers
(price only twopence); by the same Ship there came, and reached
me some days later, a Letter from Mr. Everett enclosing the
_Cromwell_ portions of the same printed-matter, clipt out by
scissors; written, it appeared, by Mr. Everett's nephew; some
of whose remarks, especially his wish that I might once be in New
England, and see people "praying," amused me much! The Cotton
Letter, &c., I have now got to the bottom of; Birch's copy is in
the Museum here,--a better edition than I had. Of "Levered" and
the other small American Documents--alas, I get cartloads of the
like or better tumbled down at my door, and my chief duty is to
front them resolutely with a _shovel.
