JWC TO JOHN FORSTER

[14 May? 1853]

Dear Mr Forster

I am quite up to pitying you—having been myself in the profundis of face-ach for several days—

Monday the 16th—if we all be spared

Have you the Modern Una—if that be the name of a sort of hash up of Mr Cs Sartor that Darwin has been telling me about 1

I should like to see it some day—

affectionately yours /

Jane Carlyle
