Adieu: come soon; and warn us when.
Yours ever,
T. Carlyle


CXXXIV. Emerson to Carlyle
2 Fenny St., Manchester, 2 March, Thursday [1848]
Dear Friend,--I hope to set forward today for London, and to
arrive there some time tonight. I am to go first to Chapman's
house, where I shall lodge for a time. If it is too noisy, I
shall move westward. But I hope you are to be at home tomorrow,
for if I prosper, I shall come and beg a dinner with you,--is it
not at five o'clock? I am sorry you have no better news to tell
me of your health,--your own and your wife's. Tell her I shall
surely report you to Alcott, who will have his revenge. Thanks
that you keep the door so wide open for me still. I shall always
come in.
Ever yours,
R.W.E.


CXXXV. Emerson to Carlyle
Monday, P.M., 19 June, 1848
Dear Carlyle,--Mrs. Crowe of Edinburgh, an excellent lady, known
to you and to many good people, wishes me to go to you with her.
I tell her that I believe you relax the reins of labor as early
as one hour after noon, and I propose one o'clock on Thursday for
the invasion.
