TC TO WILLIAM DOUGAL CHRISTIE
Chelsea, Thursday [5 March 1840]—
Thanks, my dear Sir, for your good news. This morning, the note now enclosed came from Fraser; which also seems a symptom. Could you contrive to furnish him in any way with what he wants? That seems for me the shortest method. Forster has abundance more of Prospectuses; you need not be stingy of them.
I have written to Milman; no answer; indeed not yet time for one. I have set Arthur Buller upon Cole, if he do not play me false, and forget.
Lord Northampton were my favourite too, I think; but any Lord will do: it is a mere ensign, “British flag flying at the royal mast head”;—all depends upon the gunners!— Fire away!
Ever truly your's /
T. Carlyle
