So give my thanks and true affectionate remembrance to Jane
Carlyle, and my regards also to Dr. Carlyle, whose precise
address please also to send me.
Ever your loving
R.W.E.
The address at the top of this note is the best for the present,
as I mean to make this my centre.
CXXVIII. Carlyle to Emerson
Chelsea, 13 November, 1847
Dear Emerson,--Your Book-parcels were faithfully sent off,
directly after your departure: in regard to one of them I had a
pleasant visit from the proprietor in person,--the young
Swedenborgian Doctor, whom to my surprise I found quite an
agreeable, accomplished secular young gentleman, much given to
"progress of the species," &c., &c.; from whom I suppose you have
yourself heard. The wandering umbrella, still short of an owner,
hangs upon its peg here, without definite outlook. Of yourself
there have come news, by your own Letter, and by various excerpts
from Manchester Newspapers. _Gluck zu!_--
This Morning I received the Enclosed, and send it off to you
without farther response.
