Do not bother yourself with other than voluntary writing
to me, while there is so much otherwise that you are obliged to
write. If on any point you want advice, information, or other
help that lies within the limits of my strength, command me, now
and always. And so Good be with you; and a happy meeting to us
soon again.
Yours ever truly,
T. Carlyle
CXXIX. Carlyle to Emerson
Chelsea, 30 November, 1847
Dear Emerson,--Here is a word for you from Miss Fuller; I send
you the Cover also, though I think there is little or nothing in
that. It contained another little Note for Mazzini; who is
wandering in foreign parts, on paths unknown to me at present.
Pray send my regards to Miss Fuller, when you write.
We hear of you pretty often, and of your successes with the
Northern populations. We hope for you in London again before
long.--I am busy, if at all, altogether _inarticulately_ in these
days. My respect for _silence,_ my distrust of _Speech,_ seem to
grow upon me. There is a time for both, says Solomon; but we,
in our poor generation, have forgotten one of the "times.
