Item Thackeray; who is
coming over to lecture to you: a mad world, my Masters! Your
Letter to Mazzini was duly despatched; and we hear from him that
he will write to you, on the subject required, without delay.
Browning and his wife, home from Florence, are both in London at
present; mean to live in Paris henceforth for some time. They
had seen something both of Margaret and her d'Ossoli, and
appeared to have a true and lively interest in them; Browning
spoke a long while to me, with emphasis, on the subject: I think
it was I that had introduced poor Margaret to them. I said he
ought to send these reminiscences to America,--that was the night
before we left London, three weeks ago; his answer gave me the
impression there had been some hindrance somewhere. Accordingly,
when your Letter and Mazzini's reached me here, I wrote to
Browning urgently on the subject: but he informs me that they
_have_ sent all their reminiscences, at the request of Mr. Story;
so that it is already all well.--Dear Emerson, you see I am at
the bottom of my paper.
