Here is a Mr. Forster* of Rawdon, or Bradford, in Yorkshire; our
late host in the Autumn time; who expects and longs to be yours
when you come into those parts.
I am busy with William Conqueror's _Domesday Book_ and with the
commentaries of various blockheads on it:--Ah me!
All good be with you, and happy news from those dear to you.
Yours ever,
T. Carlyle

CXXX. Emerson to Carlyle
2 Fenny Street, Higher Broughton, Manchester
28 December, 1847
Dear Carlyle,--I am concerned to discover that Margaret Fuller in
the letter which you forwarded prays me to ask you and Mrs.
Carlyle respecting the Count and Countess Pepoli, who are in Rome
for the winter, whether they would be good for her to know?--That
is pretty nearly the form of her question. As one third of the
winter is gone, and one half will be, before her question can be
answered, I fear, it will have lost some of its pertinence.
Well, it will serve as a token to pass between us, which will
please me if it do not Margaret.
