----------
Neuberg* comes hither sometimes; a welcome, wise kind of man.
Poor little Espinasse still toils cheerily at the oar, and
various friends of yours are about us. Brother John did send
through Chapman all the _Dante,_ which we calculate you have
received long ago: he is now come to Town; doing a Preface,
&c., which also will be sent to you, and just about publishing.--
Helps, who has been alarmingly ill, and touring on the Rhine
since we were his guests, writes to me yesterday from Hampshire
about sending you a new Book of his. I instructed him How.
Adieu, dear Emerson; do not forget us, or forget to think
as kindly as you can of us, while we continue in this
world together.
Yours ever affectionately,
T. Carlyle

* Mr. Ireland, in his _Recollections,_ p. 62, gives an
interesting account of Mr. Neuberg,--a highly cultivated German,
who assisted Carlyle in some of the later literary labors of his
life. Neuberg died in 1867, and in a letter to his sister of
that year Carlyle says: "No kinder friend had I in this world;
no man of my day, I believe, had so faithful, loyal, and willing
a helper as he generously was to me for the last twenty or
more years.
