TC TO RICHARD MONCKTON MILNES
Chelsea, 6 Novr, 1855—
Dear Milnes,
We will come to you on Thursday Evg,1 nothing loth; 7 p.m. — You are bound to give these Miss Lowes a subscription, I should say, of —— You yourself shall say it?2
Last night I learn that it was Mauritius Lowe their Father, actually, who saved the late immortal Turner from his Barber's shop,3 and made a Welt-berühmter [world-famous man] of him;—and that poor Miss Lowe learned drawing beside him, under her Father's tuition. Have you no enthusiasm left?— The Subscription, I am told, goes on handsomely.4 At lowest there is no want of Penny Letters about it.
Thursday 7 p. m.—
Yours ever truly /
T. Carlyle
